The plan has several obiectiVes.
one IS to get farmers off bad land

OF yielding living.
Another is 10 get Workingmen out
OF the cities into suburban areas.
A third is TO spread out indus
tries. get them away from congcsted
metropolitan areas and out in the
open air where employers may live

Some industries, such as coal
mining. can not support all OF their
