in a recent special bulletin of the
New York School of Philanthropy.
The beginning of the present cen

the movement for a normal, healthful

WARNING FOR SMALL TOWN

monious.

Lawson Purdy, In a recent address,
pmphasized the unfortunate living and
working conditions that have grown
out of the unnecessary congestion of
New York's business center. He as
serted that the statement often made
Nv New Workers that the shape of
their island makes congestion neces-
sary is absurd.
IF 30 years ago we had made suit
able laws regulating the erection of
buildings" he said, "the land values
in New York city would be more uni
iorm-would be more spread out.
When land values are spread out, so
are the people. What we need most
Is the law OF love in city building"
He quoted statistics showing that
within single radius Of 1000 feet are
Two business lots, both rs feet wide
and 100 feet deep. One of these lots
is valued at $1,250,000. The other at
$4,000. He asserted that conditions
developed in New York's business sec
tion as a result of this unequal con-
gestion brought ill health and finan-
cial loss to the workers in the build
lngs and to the proprietors of these
buildings.
TOO long" he said, "the idea of city
planning has been the making of a
city beautiful in spots. Real city plan
ming is more. 1t is the developing Of
a city beautiful within and without
the making it an uplift to all who
dwell therein"
