the outstanding subdivision successes
have been brought about by the eN-
penditure OF huge sums on the part
Of the developer. such as golf courses.
recreation grounds, artistic treatment
of wav of statuary, palms. lakes, wind
ing roadways and flowers, trees.
hedges and other such plans to bring
about Identification of the project.
The old method of subdividing
ground. Mr.. Miller said. was one of
leveling off the hills and valleys, de-
stroying the wooded growth and
beautiful streams and slicing the
ground up into rectangular blocks
and lots. The modern method is to
preserve as far as possible the nat
ural contours and growth on the
property and to divide the lots into
irregular shapes. This method nat
urally means that there will be few
long, straight vistas and many curved
and winding streets.
Restrictions Explained.
Discussing restrictions upon subdi-
vided growth. the speaker explained
that such restrictions as the type OF
building. the general preservation or
the beauty of the property and OF
various homes in relation to the en-
tire property was stressed. These re-
strictions should be in the deed, he
declared. He explained that the pur-
pose of coming is for the protection of
the community from undesirable con-
ditions. developing the community as
a whole and stabilizing land values by
providing certain sections for certain
purposes. In Washington coming
covers use, area and height
In conclusion Mr.. Miller said that
city planning is the greatest work of
the present generation, and ironclad
zoning laws protected by the courts
under the police power cannot help
but be boon to city such as Wash
ington.
City coming is new principle and
has been found successful in many
American cities. The only dissatis
faction or failures of the zoning laws
have occurred in cities where politi-
clans directed the law for their own
benefit. In such cases it is bound to
fail, for in coming altruism must pre-
vail. and selfishness must be forgotten,
he said.
No man can avoid his own company
SO he had better make it as good as
