Time for Analysis.
There was never a better time than
now Tor such an analysis OF the asse
growth and the work Of its citizens
during the past II the plans and
achievements were not fundamentally
sound. now is the prorer time to de-
they should be followed up with re-
uewed vigor SO that no gain in the
vantage ground be lost.
The city presents both the sue
cesses and failures Of organized sOci-
ETY. in their most acute form The
contrast between efficiency and want
are sharp. As the population grows
we find II more and more necessary

cent restrictions in the interest Of
order and equality OF opportunity.
The mere growth OF a city creates
values which fall ha0hazard and 20
through a process Ct distribution and
juggling that unless some careful an
alysis is efferted from time to time
to stabalize and direct the growth
presents a problem OF SIan and fu-
ture development that is difficult to
solve.
Program Is Necessary.
city builders must therefore have
a program The FL Paso OF the future
must not be allowed to happen Be
fore there can be. however. concrete
ideals. there must be some analysis
both OF the problem and OF the means
at our disposal TO meet It Mere
structural aspects OF the CITY are only
portion OF our problem The grow
ing necessity Of building apartment
houses and tenements cannot be en-
tirely counteracted. but we can az
ford a measure OF relief by planning
now for better outlying additions. i'm
proving transportation facilities. and
rendering more accessible public
parks and breathing places where
proper and attractive amusement may
be had for all classes.
1T is evident that in planning the
