MUNICH IL PLANNING.

Tn another place IS m ed. torial taken from the New York Times on the "CosJ of Not Planning IL is based on the last speech of the late Senator 1ea!bnsl planning for future growth. The very able New Jersey Senator declared hat somebody ought really to write a book upon the cost of not plan r'ne"
 Many years ago le Empire suggested that de- tar-d plans for future completed City of Juneau ought to be made by experienced municipal en- pneers landscape architects etc.-a plan that might parks. play fields, watsr front development and cher things needed. Reginald H. Thompson, famous engineer and one of the creators of the completed Ctv O. Seattle suggested that such plan could g=obably be prepared for Juneau at cost of $3,O0O or s1C00-possbly less At that time he was doing a lot of that sort of work in Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and elsewhere.
 Seattle did that-at the suggestion of MT. qhonlpson-rnore than three decades ago. While there have been many changes to meet the neces- sites as they came up Seattle was built on the neral lines Of the "Bogue Plans" Eastlake and Xyeslake Avenues were Bogue ideas. The municipal buildings and railroad depots not built in the ake Union region as the Bogue Plans suggested, but many water front and harbor improvements and tails were added to the Bogue Plans, and in har fnony with them under the direction of Frederick L. Olmsted famous Boston landscape architect Streets were changed to obviate grades, bad turns etc.

Cost of Not Planning.
(NeW York TimeS.)

tNeW York TlmeS)
 A f5w days before his death Senator Morrow spoke at a dinner in Trenton under the auspices of the Engineers Club for the presentation of a county plan to the people of Mercer County New Jersey. He had chance to correct the stenographc report of his address. It is published, just it taken down, in the current number Of The National Municipal Review, with the com ment that it contains inspiring argument" for city, county and regional planning generally. MT Morrow could qualify as an expert, for he had part in the master plan for the whole metro politan region published two years ago He chose to speak whose expert knowledbe was temp er5d by broad understanding of public affairs and human limitations. One point that he made all planners will echo. We hear good deal about the cost of a city plan," he declared Somebody ought really to write book upon the cost of not planning"
 It is manifest on every hand It is the answer to those who shake their heads the expense" involved in setting up planning commissions and having engineering and economic studies made in advance. As a matter of fact, 1t is not nearly so expensive business for the ordinary community as many people have been led to believe. The Regional Plan of New York and Environs, which cost something like million dollars, is hardly typical Even the elaborate studies required for supporting vast populations are worth far more than the sums expended them. In smaller communities, whose growth is not yet fixed and determined, they may be the means of saving millions while making for health, comfort and con- venience.
 The country, MT. Morrow observed, is still young. Much of it's growth, even if less accelerat- ed lies ahead of it. Communities East and West may still reap the benefits of forethought There is little danger that the plans made now will be too rigid Melody" said the speaker, with his customary smile, lis wise enough to make plan that will be carried out" The years will bring alterations, but there will be something which to base them. Development will be intelligent instead of haphazard Here is theme fit to seize the imagination of a generation prone to emphasize social control and engineering and determined to find practical outlet for it's ideaism. We, the ancestors of those who come after us" said MT Morrow, "are going to be judged by the kind of dreams, the promises and contributions we make to the kind of country this will be a hundred or two hundreds five hundred years from now"
