SEES CITY GROWTH
Cincinnati Realtor Predicts Great
Urban Development.

CIOdH OeFcLOpmenC.
Continued growth of American
cities was predicted by Walter S.
Schmidt OF, Cincinnati, at the Indi-
annapolis Real Estate Board lunch
con Thursday at the Chamber of
Commerce.
THE same number of farmers
are turning out twice as much food
as formerly" he pointed out. Since
an increase in population means
only a small increase in consump-
ton Of food, proportionately, we
may expect that in twenty-five or
fifty years, with a population of
some 2OO,000,000 in the United
States, cities will be not doubled in
size, but tripled or quadrupled. That
will be true because the demand for
other things than food will increase
in greater proportion than the pop
ulation.
With this in mind, we realtors
must plan our cities to accommodate
the future population"
