the large. the streets are the corridors
of the districts they penetrate. The
mere fact of opening up the many i'm
passes throughout the city and con-
Meeting them with wide streets and
parkWays removes the stagnation from
them, letting in the light and air. and
aids the movement of it's life. With
this is coupled a consideration Of the
development of the street congestion
which is encountered.
Coupled with the street problems is
the problem of the river-its frontages
and bridges. What can be more de-
moralizing than the influence of the
disorderly conditions of the Chicago
river? And yet this sight affects 80 to
40 per cent of the population daily.
These same people are affected at the
rush hour by the confusion and con
gestion in the struggle to reach tile ele-
waited stations, the street cars and the
railroad stations. At the end of a day
of toll what but demoralizing can be
the influence of these conditions?
Many similar examples of lack Of
order may be cited. These are typical
and are applicable not only to the
main center. but in u less degree also
to the subcenters and are basic condi-
tons underlying the study in city
planning in it's constructive sense.
The limits Of occupancy of territory
by the railroads for purely railroad
purposes are suggested.
The advantages resulting from this
study is obvious. since to a large ex-
tent the location Of the railroads in
and surrounding a city determines the
location of the zone of industry. Study
Of the growth of cities has shown
that where many railroads radiate
from the city in different directions
the triangular shaped areas lying be,
tween them for q considerable dis,
lance out from the center of the city
are reduced to a low level of utility
even though they may have compare.
lively high value in the real estate
market. This leads to the use Of this
market in an intensive and wretched
manner. and it is in these pockets we
find the worst tenements and sIums.

Perhaps the greatest feat of micro
scopic engraving was accomplished by
Il Jewish farmer in Alberta. who pre-
pared an address of welcome to the

that a microscope was necessary to
