Farmers of County Donate to
Alleviate Suffering in Europe

CITY PLANNING
Law WILLFAIL
!. - = = - . -
No Hope for Legal Enforcement Of
Mandates-Metes and Bounds
Arc Obstseles.

Practically all hope has been
lost for the enactment of . state
law which would enforce the man
dates of city planning commissions
employed by municipalities to out
line civic streets and parks
schemes, according to a report that
has been submitted to Mayor Harry
M. Schriver by O. z. Cervin, mem
Der Of the Rock Island city plan
ming commission.
Mr.. Cervin was the Rock Island
representative to the conference of
city planners in Decatur last fall,
which went on record in favor of
bill in the Illinois general assem-
bly, for the passing of bill for
the enforcement of city planning
proposals.
Such a bill was prepared by the
Chamber Of Commerce of Chicago
and was introduced in the house 0f
representatives March 8. Mr.. Ger
win. who has been following the
bill closely, reports that there
seems to be little hope to enact a
law which would prevent property
holders from selling their property
by metes and bounds, which is the
main obstacle confronting the city
planning idea.
A bill was presented in the house
by Representative Gregory, which
would provide that mandates laid
down by a city planning commits
sion, recognized by city govern
ments, should be inviolate.
However, legislators were against
such an enactment, said by many
to be an unconstitutional bill. The
bill would give cities the right to
control conditions within a terri
tory of one and a half miles Of
city limits.
~Shoot" Close to MARX.
Under prevailing conditions, city
planning enthusiasts say, the only
hope is for regularly constituted
city planning commissions to pre-
sent their plans and let civic pride
and future welfare of communities
inspire the enactment of its re-
concentrations. Plans are to be
laid down and public sentiment is
to be invoked to have these plans
adhered to as closely as possible.
