and a third to workingmens homes:
and each section will benefit by the
economies due to this differentiation.
Finally the improvement of the work
ing places and homes themselves must
be taken up, for they constitute the
normal environment of most city
dwellers.
Besides the concrete plans relating
to definite areas certain general prin-
ciples OF city planning should early be
formulated. Street widths, their sub
division into roadway, parking and
walks, and the type of pavement TO
be laid should be standardized for
each class of highway, with sharp
differentiation between main thorough
fares and minor streets. The most de-
sirable lengths and depths of blocks
and lots under varying conditions,
whether alleys are benefit or not.

value of building lines, preservation of
streams flanked by streets for open
storm drainage. the apportionment of
a percentage of each new district for
park purposes-these and many other
problems of general application de-

but the opportunity for greatly en-
hanced effort due to the grouping of
several buildings is as yet seldom
availed of. despite the numerous re-
ports recently issued in various cities
urging its principle.
The intense activity OF city life, and
the increasingly artificial conditions
under which the citizens live. make
more and more essential the introduce
ton into daily life of recreation-the
complete change and relaxation for
tired nerves afforded by play and the
appeal of nature. Such recreation
facilities are for the most part TO be
provided by the park system, though
school centers. public baths and other
agencies contribute no small share to
the opportunities for play.
Its Ultimate Concern
In city or town plan the ultimate
concern is for the provision of homes
and places of work-the residential
and the commercial and industrial
uuarters-which should each be plan
ned to fit its peculiar needs. \ GER

CITY PLANNING
PAYS COMMUNITY
lis Ultimate Value in Directing
Growth Is IneStimable;
What 1t Means

The Massachusetts State Homestead
Commission. in recent bulletin says
the specific aim of city planning is
TO promote health. safety, convenience
and beauty in the city, thereby con-
serving human energy and life. Such
planning concerns itself with all the
physical aspects of the city or town
its streets, railroads, waterways, pub
lie services: its administrative, educa-
tional and recreative property; and
the deVclopm OF private property.
IT treats them as component parts OF
an organic whole. so that each may
Ciovetail into the next. The economies
resulting from such planning will re-
pay the costs many times over in items
of immediate application alone: such,
for example, as the narrowing Of
pavements on purely local streets to
The width actually needed by the light
traffic traversing them. thereby saving
thousands of dollars in paving eX-
pense Its ultimate value in direct
ing the city's growth is inestimable.
In the plan of a city or town the
underlying framework is its means of
communiCation-by water. rail and
highway.
First, the waterways must be laid
down, as they are rather rigidly de-
termined by the topography. Then
the railroads. which 10 a great degree,
are also fixed, must be studied with
reference to the needs of passengers
and freight. Finally, the thorough
fares must he planned. The network
OF traffic streets which will give ac-
cess by foot, vehicle or electric car to
every section of the city, is of great
est immediate importance, since 1t
may be more readily controlled. Upon
81 fr1NY,
housing. recreation facilities and
other phases of the town plan will be
built up. Without any adequate high
way system the city's development
will inevitably be Cramped and only
partially effective.
Relation TO Streets
In any consideration of the streets
OF city or town they should be
sharply Differentiated, according TO
their use, into main thoroughfareS and
minor streets. though there Will of
course be intermediate types. The
principal highways should be made
wide and direct, in order to accom-
modate heavy traffic so we'll that ii
will keep away from the minor
streets These highways should be
fixed far in advance OF building, in
order TO assure through connection,
The resulting saving in land. construc-
tion and up-keep, due TO the concen-
1ration of travel, will be very great,
while the minor residence streets will
be kept free from the noise and dust
OF heavy traffic and can be inexpen-
sively paved.
Provisions also should be made upon
the plan for the administrative and
other public and quasi-public build
ings which are needed in any modern
city. such as city hall, post office
schools. institutions and the like. The
architectural treatment of individua
buildings has recently been raised tC
