Town PLANNING.

The familiar rush of the people from
the land to the cities, so pronounced
a feature of modern times, has encour.
aged congestion in most communities
Recourse to town planning has been
forced by the necessities of efficient
transportation and sound land values,
as well as good health.
1t is fashionable today to deplore
the slums. Why provide new ones
Why add congestion to existing con-
gestion, when, simply by looking
ahead and taking thought, healthy
growth may be assured?
Town planning provides the city
with eyes TO see where it is spreading
and to conform TO the demands of bust,
ness and comfort. A city unpanned
is a blind giant, sprawling over the
ground. 1t wastes some of its great.
est assets in a building debauch.
Every city that keeps order on its
streets must also keep order in its
advance to greater size and influence.
1t must put town planning traffic ex-
perts at important corners on its
way.-Montreal Star.

One of the generating plants in Cal
ifornia decided to offer its stock to its
customers, instead of sending il TO
New York for needed funds. Its sue
cess was immediate. says the Society
for Electrical Development. Employ.

in the safety of their company, based
on intimate knowledge of its workings.
The public eagerly followed. Today

The growing popularity of customer
partnership in public utilities in lieu
of the much-discussed municipal own

herald of a day when the American
people, like their thrifty neighbors of
France, will be partners in all their

Along the outskirts of Louisville, on

of the Louisville Automobile club are
always on duty, day and night, extend

The representatives are inanimate,

PROPER TEST OF PROGRESS
Many Things Good Citizens Will Put
Above the Numerical Growth Of
Their Community.

Greater New York is peeved because
600 fewer people than it believes lives
within its boundaries, says the st.
Louis GlobeDemocrat. Ii has enough
TO lead London and thus be classed
as the largest metropolis of the world,
and If pride in nothing but the mum.
Der of people who manage to exist
within the official limits of the city
is the ruling spirit, New York ought
to be satisfied with credit for hav-
Ing the largest number. But it is
not satisfied and is making a count of
its own. The census figures show an
actual decline in the borough of Man
haitian, which fact ought to envoke
expressions of satisfaction instead of
the reverse. If some of the crowded
masses of lower Manhattan have been
able to find homes outside that dis
trict, thus reducing the congestion and
making living more comfortable for
those who are compelled to remain,
1t should be matter of general con-
graduation.
Why is a census taken? Is 1t so
that we may know exactly how many
people there are in the United States
and that municipal rivalries based en-
tirely upon the number of human be-
ings who live within the official boun-
diaries may be determined? That is
all a great many people see in it.
Newspaper comment on figures given
out is purely numerical. Perhaps that
Is because we have only numerical
data as yet. Far more worth consid-
Grafton will be the facts as to the
conditions of life, the social and re-
ligious status, the matter of employ
ment, housing, etc, etc. Any city gen.
uninely interested in its actual growth
and conditions will pay more attention
to such data than to the mere mat
ter of numbers.

WASHINGTON, April 22-The
