mum has been placed at IA stories,
although few will reach that height.
But the intention is to create some
thing more than large blocks of dwell
ings. In capitalist cities business and
places of amusement. as well as
wealth. social classes, tend to
concentrate in particular sections of
town. Moscow will be decentralized
One of the most important parts
of the plan provides for clearing out
the center of the city. Broad streets,
parks, government buildings and hotels
are to replace the present congested
and unsightly district about the
Kremlin. Theaters, cinemas, research
institutes, clubs and similar institu-
tions will be moved out of the center
of the city and distributed through
the new sections. The tendency will
be to create a number of scattered
communities, each supplying the cul-
tural and material demands of its
inhabitants.
The decentralization Of schools, the
aters, shops and the other necessities
or decorations of city life may be said
to represent rather negative side Of
socialist city planning. merely the re-
distribution of institutions which the
proletarian dictatorship did not create.
A more positive feature may be found
in the plentiful provisions made for
communal laundries, nurseries, baths,
restaurants and kitchens. These, in
the socialist Moscow of the future, will
be almost in the category with such
public utilities as transport, light and
water.
incidentally, another public utility
which Moscow intends to take over
and develop to an extent unknown in
any other city is the provision of
heat from municipal plants to every
building. Less than q decade ago
Moscow suffered fuel shortage. To-
day, with no shortage, heating pro-
visions still are far from satisfactory.
To no other great city Is the problem

so important. The subway, new street
cars and hundreds of additional buses
may take care of the transport prob
lem, the Volga Canal will make the
water supply adequate, but heating
Is more intricate problem.
At present there is one municipal
heating plant. 1t supplies most of
the new government buildings in the
center of town and is said to be
satisfactory. Another plant will be
built next year. Eventually there
probably will be five, heating old build
ing as well as new. Should this prove
possible, the socialist city will have
taken over one of the tasks which in
the past has been> most troublesome
for individuals. Bread and circuses,"
as political platform was evolved
under warmer skies than those of
Moscow. Here dread and heat" strike
a more responsive note.
On the map of the new Moscow
parks are plentiful. Each decentral-
lied community is to have its own
parks. All industrial plants also are
to be surrounded by protective green
zones" and most of the new radial
avenues are to have parkways. A
plan to plant them with fruit trees
has been discussed.
Whether the building to be accom-
plShed In the next 10 years will
relieve the overcrowding which Is
the greatest inconvenience of Moscow
seems to be problematical. At pres
ent the so-called sanitary norm" for
living space is calculated at nine
square meters person. The ideal
Of Soviet architects is said to be is
square meters. At that figure the
building to be accomplished in 1886
would accommodate about $1,000 in
dividuals, and the building to be done
in the next three years would take
care of about 100000. At least q
tenth Of the latter number, however,
are to be moved out of sections in the
center Of town which are being torn
down. For the more distant future
the plan still u somewhat nehulous.

DOLLAR DAY HERE
 TO-DAY ASUCCESS
Weatherman Fails to Dampen Spirits of City
 and Suburban Shoppers

The weather man threw a back flip today and sent Waterbury un- fair climatic conditions, but he did not succeed in keeping the shop pers of this city and the Nauga- tuck Valley from fiocking to town for the bargains being offered in observance of Dollar Day.
 A walk through the shopping districts revealed that the mer- chants were showing all of the valuable bargains they previously advertised and that the shoppers were taking advantage of the spe- cial sales.
 No checkup on the amount of sales recorded could be ascertained at press time but it is believed to- days Dollar Day compares favor Today also served to introduce in a number of stores advance styles for spring and summer.
 Early this morning the, skies were threatening and at one, time, snow mixed with sleet fell on the city. The skies cleared at noon time however. and brought the shoppers down to the city on trolleys, buses and in private cars.
 The heaviest buying was report ed in the afternoon when the shoppers had to do their purchas- ing before 6 o'clock when all stores cooperating in the event, were to close. Dollar Day was sponsored by members of the Merchants Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce.

 The amount of the allotment to be made to this city will he made known tomorrow, MT Harris said.
 Announcement that clerical and professional employees would be re- tained Is contrary to a previous edict of the state relief agency which last week ruled that this group was to be dropped from the payroll today and that all projects employing white collar workers were to be abandoned.
 The threat of temporary cessa. ticn of the entire EZRA program due to Jack of ufrther approprla- tions was dispelled last week when MT Harris announced that a suffi- cient surplus had been built up from the January allotment to car ry the labor projects payroll through until the end of next week.
