Importance of full developed faculties.
Papers were read by Lewis tia of

The Sunday afternoon session was
addressed by E. M. Robinson, on ths
subject, Challenged at the Thresh

evangelistic and the challenge OF
Christian manhood was placed square
before the fellows only as man Of
Robinson's calibre can present it. The
results of this meeting We're in a
large measure gratifying.

To Be Gigantic Upheaval;
Slow Practical Changes
This is Way Nolen Plan For Keokuk is to be
Accompshed--Three Distinct Lines Business
Factory and Residence Districts, Will Be
Developed by Proper Ideas

as at present But as the city grows,
things, by their own force, will have
to spT cad out. Where are they going
to spread? In just what directions
will the business district of the city
develop under the Nolen plan?
AS stated before, Main street will
run into the civic center at Tw elfth.
The business district will be checked
right there, so far as that direction
is concerned. Main street will go on
from the Fourteenth street side of
the civic center, but the business line
will have been broken. What will be
the natural result then? Business
will begin to spread out to the side
streets, Eleventh, Tenth, Ninth and
on down toward the river. How far
that extension will go so far as other
side streets are concerned is conjec-
ture, but the general trend will b. In
the direction noted.
The idea of the Industrial Associa-
ton from the start, and this has been
incorporated by Mr.. Nolen into his
plan, has been that the factory dts
trict would be built in westerly d.
rsction. In residential way, the
city will spread north. Thus we have
three big divisions, business, factory
and residence districts.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1913-12-10
Business District Spreads.

Now as to few Of the more i'm.
portant details of the plan. One of
the most interesting aspects of the
matter has to do with the effect the
plan will have on the general plan
of the city. AS those who heard Mr..
Nolen speak know, the civic center,
when completed, will extend from
Twelfth to Fourteenth streets. Main
street will run into 1t. There is ALSO
lutely no reason to doubt that the
business Of the city always will be
located, at least the central part of it,
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1913-12-10
Streets to Have Attention.


The street and boulevard system
will come in for a great deal of at
tention This Is one of the most i'm
portant points in the development OF
any city. Streets in the residence
districts, now considered too wide
will be narrowed to meet conditions
of use. Parkings will be enlarged, and
a boulevard system developed, meet
ing the lines Of least resistance. Mr..
Towne coined rather an unusual
phrase today in speaking of the gen
eral boulevard plan.
1--WE aim to secure regular and
beautiful irregularity," was the way
he expressed it. "Then we will be
conforming to the lay of the land,
and at the same time we will be get
ting a genuinely artistic effect"
1t has been my purpose to point
out few Of the more general fea-
lures of the Nolen plan which should
carry popular appeal. Those who
have examined even the scientific de-
tailed ideas embodied in it are en-,
/ thusiastic over the prospects. They
realize that 1t all will take time, hui
big things cannot be accomplished III
year, especially where the interests
of so many people are concerned
The interests Of the people of Keokub
are concerned in this plan, because
it is the vital point in the future o.
their city. Keokuk is only starting
out to 90 what other cities have al
ready done. Are we down.hearted'
Answer the question yourself, ant
! for yourself.

[By Will P. Green. ]

John Nolen, the foremost authority
in this country on the practical ex-
tension and development of cities,
came to keokuk for the purpose OF
explaining the plans he had worked
out for the future of the power city
Mr.. Nolsn has gone, but the ideas he
left have added to the spirit OF the
greater Keokuk Some of Mr.. Nolen's
plans may seem visionary at this
time. So did the Keokuk dam, and
only q few years before shovel OF
dirt had been taken out at that. 9th
er cities have gone through the same
periods Of doubt. There is always
some question about any big thing
that carries with it radical changes.
If Keokuk were the first in the field
Of this form of civic endeavor, dis
enlargement would seem reasonable.
But other cities have succeeded, after
going through the same discourage
ments; other cities have won over
the skeptics that were the most pro-
nounced and changed them into boost
ers equally as enthusiastic. Then why
not Keokuk?
The Nolen plan for Keokuk is no:
so radical after all as it appears at
first sight. AS Mr.. Towne pointed out
in going over the situation with me
this morning, it does not mean big
upheayal, the reckless tearing down
of property still capable of giving
years of good, active service. Changes
will be slow. They will be made as
necessity requires, in the majority OF
instances when changes would have
to have been made anyhow. The idea
is to make the changes, when they
are made, in a practical way, con
forming to a general, we'll developed
outlined plan, SO that in the end uni
formity Of construction will have beer
gained. The city will be made ovel
almost, we might say, in spite of it
self
Take the civic center for instance
as Mr.. Nolen presented it last week
Work on this will not be started fol
years. The water front plan will
come sooner, because it is needle;
more, because necess ity will denim,
