How to Keep a City Clean.

To make a city cleaner and heater
and to substitute beauty for Ugliness
is to enhance the value Of both pub
lie and private property. AS to pub
lie property, this work can be easily
controlled. But the city authorities
can be expected to act only on the in
sistence OF the general public. IN
fortunately, however, no matter how
careful a city may be about structures
erected on public property, the gen.
eral effect of street and open places
may rbe spoiled by ugliness in sur
rounding structures and private prop
erty. Rillboards, signs, ugly, garish
or unkempt buildings, buildings out OF
repair, lntidy yards and vacant lots
all may counteract whatever the city
may do to make public property at
tractive. The only way to keep the
city neat and to make it look as
though it were really self-respecting
Is for all citizens to cooperate in in
sisting on private as well as pubic
neatness and attention to good design.
From the Report of the City Plan
Commission, Newark, N. J..

FAULT IN CITY PLANNING
Standardization of Streets Can Be Car
ried to Excess, as California Jour
naiist Points Out.

One Of the greatest follies practice6
in modern city-building, particularly
where the topography is broken in
character, lies in standardization OF
streets, more especially regarding the
width, says the Los Angeles Times
The writer lives on a cross street.
that is, one crossing at right angles a
main thoroughfare - Avenue Sixty
four-that carries at least several
hundred times as much traffic as the
one first noted, yet the widths of the
two are the same. The one is three
blocks long, blind" at each end, hav-
ing no possibility of a direct outlet
at either extremity. The other is the
main highway from Los Angeles to
Pasadena by way of Colorado street,
and to Eagle Rock by the same feed
err"
There is no question but a greater
width is needed on Avenue Sixty-four,
as is the case with scores Of streets
similarly situated. 1t is equally GER
tain that the crossing streets are
twice as vide as need be. The miser-
able parkways are but AZ inches wide,
an area so restricted that good street
tree growth is impossible. Every
property owner with whom the writer
has talked on the subject would be
pleased to have several feet on each
side added to the parkway, yet major
ity does not rule, even in Los Angeles.
No traffic is seen on such streets ex-
cept the daily routine of the milk.
man, baker and vegetable peddler.
Yet the width is the same as that Of
the one great highway running
through the district.
The case cited is used merely be-
cause the writer has intimate personal
acquaintance with it, having resided
on this specific street for ten years.
No personal grievance inspired this
article, for the residents on the street
have never sought to have it changed.
All concede q widening of parkings.
with a correspondingly narrower
driveway, would make a more beauti-
full street, give it a more pleasant as
pect, allow Of fine parkway gardening,
etc. But did they know that when the
street is to be paved the cost of the
useless strips Of width in paving
would pay for the change and new
curbs, they might petition the prop
er officials to make such change AS
all streets are of the sams width, n
all at right angles al well, the plan
ming and plating of such districts may
safely be turned over to u Children
And some Of the latter would be bet
ter than their parents.
