The guardians of the cfty's interests

law has been to provide harmony Of de-
sign and an avoidance of the usual in
congruities of the average American
city, where everybody builds regard
less of their neighbor's or the city's in
terests.
Bruges, we believe, has the honor
of being the first city TO adopt any
such incentive to preserve and develop
it's architectural character.
The point Of especial interest to us
is not that of preserving any particular
architectural style. but rather the ap-
probation of appearance and the re-
lation of one building to another. with
which the citizens must have been i'm
bued in order to put such a project into
effect.
We may hope that the example may
meet with some emulation in our own
communities.
