CIVIC ASSOCIATION
TOURS PROVIDENCE
Speakers Stress Lack of
Common Sense in City
Planning.
BY BEN McKELWAY,
staff Correspondent of The Star.

PROVIDENCE. r. l.. October 26.-
The Providence metropolitan district.
considered with Greater Boston one of
the two outstanding examples in
America Of metropolitan communities,
is under inspection today by the
travelling meeting" of the American
Civic Association, which last night
completed it's two-day tour of Boston.
While Boston Monday and yester-
day, Providence today and tomorrow
and the Connecticut Valley and Spring
field on Friday are serving more or
less as laboratories in which the
of city and regional planning may
witness the success and failure of
sundry experiments in the develop
ment of this comparatively new
science, greater interest attaches to
the fact that the round-table discus
sions, speeches and lectures by city
planners revolve around a single
point. This point is the necessity plus
the difficulty for an application IF
common intelligence on the part OF
American communities today in plan-

failure so to plan will result in mis-
takes, requiring more effort and more
money to correct than timely provision
would have cost in the first place.
DelanO Is Speaker.
Presiding last night at the regional
planning dinner which closed the
American Civic Associations visit to
Boston, Frederic A. Delano, president
of the association and member OF
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, reminded hearers
that in the days when the population
of the Federation of States numbered
less than 100000, few men had
the vision and the wisdom to plan for
the growth of the National Capital,
but today, more than a century and a
half afterward, their plans have not
advanced as far as they saw them.
He mentioned the retrocession to
Virginia of one-third of the area of
the original District of Columbia as
one mistake which those living today
must always regret, and which has
damaged the original plans for Wash
ington's development in a manner
that cannot be undone." Later still,
when the population of the District
had reached 100000 persons, and
Florida avenue was considered the
utmost limits on the north to which
the city would expand. nobody had
