which I call my Dream City, where
the workers lived in small, practica-
BILE, comfortable houses, surrounded
by beautiful gardens of one or two
acre size. The subsoil being a COM
plete water system in itself, there
would be no, or need be no, extern
sive water system in my city, as all
waste products should, in scientific
way, be brought back to the soil and
transformed into useful eatables and
scented flowers. Every home should
be supplied with electric light, heat
and power.
The men should work only six
hours, in factories located miles
away. The rest of the time they
could always spend in their homes
and gardens, where they could find
useful and recreative work to do, all
by and for themselves. This would
serve as health preservation and also
be Of a great economical help, as the
workers could get more than half OF
the necessary fOodstuffs out of their
gardens.

Then, when read about Mr.. Ford's

me-by heck! there is the man who
is able to put my Dream City, into
reality. So 1 wrote you letter and
gave you my plans. also gave you
a few suggestions how few of these
millions could me used in buying up
land outside of the city at regular
farm prices.
Then, when a sufficient number Of
thousands of acres had been bought,
improvements could begin, high
ways built and electric railways laid
out, etc. Then offer the lots for sale
at the same price that you paid. You
would then be able to sell acre lots
for the same price as real estate

back. But! Here is a point: with
out interest.
This seems to be an immaterial
question to Mr.. Ford, as he already
has enough millions coming to him
from his factories.
Then after a few days found in
my letter box a letter from the Ford
Motor Co. Now, by gosh! thought
the world will soon see something
7 coming. 1 hesitated a moment be-
fore opened the envelope and here
is the answer:
''The fraternaIistic spirit which
permeates the prof1t-sharing plan of
the Ford Motor Co. would not permit

felt a freezing sensation going
through my soul. 1 gathered up all
my Dream City, plans, put them
deep down in my mind, where I used
to keep them, and all my hope about
millionaires as social reformers got
hard hit. They will sometimes
build peace palaces, marble palace
libraries and many other splendid
things" by which they hope to make
their name immortal. But in a plain;
simple, sensible way help workers
to get real homes of their own and
do so without any profit or special
honor for themselves in view-No.

and he does not allow any such thing
to be done" And there you are.
