Three important Divisions.

Three important divisions are pro-
vided in the plan. the original city,
from X street on the west to Grand
Avenue on the north, the district be-
tween the inner and outer boulevards
from X street to near the Des Moines
river bridge around to the country
club on the north and the third divi-
sion taking in the surrounding coun-
try outside, taking in much of Lee
county.
At the river end of the boulevard
which ends at Prices creek and the
country club grounds the city already
owns some land and it is proposed TO
buy more land and create park at
that point. The other end at Fulton
creek a short distance this side of
the Des Moines river bridge the land
is hilly and of no use for residential
or industrial purposes. It is proposed
to purchase this and create park.
Both inner and outer bouleyards
would make 1t possible to get from
one side of the city to another with
out going directly through, and cross
all of the present streets. The inner
boulevard would also be line of de-
narration between the present city
and new residential district

Main Street the Backbone.

Main street is the backbone of the
entire plan. 1t is proposed to provide
terminals for Main street, one at the
river where the plan calls for an over.
head crossing of the railroad tracks
coming down to the water front,
where a wall seyenty-flve feet out
should be built and the intervening
space filed up much higher than it
is at present. The plan calls for a
tower in the center and leads down
to public landing for steamboats,.
The other terminal for Main street
is a civic centre, planned to be
the business center of the city, be-
tween Twelfth and Fourteenth streets
and Exchange and Concert streets,
including also outside of the civic
centre between Eleventh and Four
teenth streets and High and Bank
streets buildings of a quasi-public
nature.
A park across the upper end of the
civic centre is proposed, on the left
market place. federal building and
auditorium, the city hall in the centre
with tower, and on the right a hotel,
county courthouse, police and fire sta
tons and public library.
To be City Center.
The plan. designed for the future
of course. proposes to make the civic
center the real center of the business
activities of the city
With Main street as the basis OF
the street system there is also based
in the plan the streets which are by
reason of location the main arteries
of travel of the city. They include
First. Fifth, Seventh, Eleventh and
Fourteenth streets and High. Bank,
Ridge, Upper Carol, Orleans and
Grand Avenue.
No change is proposed in the streets
