Bartholomew will be intrusted with
the leadership in what is probably the
biggest undertaking in the history of
the city His high reputation as a
planning engineer has won the conf
dence of the city planning board. He
has outlined city plans for many cities
larger than Topeka ana in every case
has performed valuable service.
A Model Zoning Plan.
When Washington, D. c.. was pro-
ytded with an appropriation for zon-
ing recently by congress, the capital
city made an exhaustive investigation
on coming and concluded that the st.
Louis zone plan, which Bartholomew
had made, was the model coming law
of the country and most applicable to
the average city. Bartholomew was
engaged by the District of Columbia
commissioners to prepare a coming or
dinance which is now in effect.
For five years Bartholomew has
been city plan engineer for the st.
Louis city planning commission, and
in that time a number of projects have
been completed and many millions Of
dollars worth of work is now under
ordinance. Zoning in St. Louis has
meant the increase in business valua-
tiou, particularly in industries, OF at
least 3O,009oO6. a.
Plans For Many Cities.
The bartholomew city planning or
ganization has also perfected colnpre-
hensive city plans for Memphis, Tenn.
East st. Louis, Ill; Hamilton. O.;
jackson, Mich; Wichita, Kan; Grand
Rapids, Mich; Madison, Wis; Utica,
y. Y. and other cities
Hutchinson, Kan. secured Bartholo-
new to work out its city plan, which
is complete and which the city OF
Hutchinson will work toward for many
years to come.
Bartholomew work in Topeka will
require several years for completion
The Topeka plan will include in mucn
detail a comprehensive plan of the
city based on present conditions, but
outlining the ideal Topeka. Big i'm
provement projects, such as straight
ening and widening Shunganunga
creek, the outlining of a parkway and
boulevard system. the defining OF
coming boundariesdnd other probable
plans will be incorporated in the To-
peka plan. Altho they may be carried
out in a short time, or not for years
they will have their place in the To-
peka plan as an expert planners idea
Of the best method for growth and
beautifvinz of the city.

fits of publicity, many persons now
