CITY PLANNING WAY
TO SAVE CITY MONEY,
DAVIS TELLS CLASSES

Del Davis, city civil engineer, point
ed out the advantage of city planning
in a talk before the combined civics
classes at Garfield junior high school
Tuesday afternoon
He said that through city planning
considerable money could be saved In
paving the streets of the city and
general improvements. Mr.. Davis
gave as an example the improvement
which is being made at the crossing
of the c. & o. railroad at the corner
of North Third and D streets. The
street is being widened at this place
at an extra cost of $4,000. whereas
it might have been avoided if done
10 years ago, Mr.. Davis said. He en-
phasized the fact that construction of
improper buildings lowers the value
of other property nearby.
Students OF the junior high schools
of the city are eligible to take part in
the essay contest on City Planning, .
prizes for which are being offered by
the Rotary club. The contest ends
Thursday, May %.
