CURB FOR WASTE
IN CITIES URGED
False Developments Held
CurSe-FiVe Lines of
Action Cited.

Because "cities, like living beings,
have ricketS" and cannot stand violent
distortions or dislocations, city plan
ming must ultimately come to cheek
the wasteful development of existing
services and utilities aid to make pos
sible economical municipal admins
tration.
This is the opinion of Miles l.. CO.
lean, director of larSe-scale housing
and technical division of the Federal
Housing Administration, in recent
discussion on community planning as
it relates to mortgage insurance.
Mr. Colean advances five endeavors
which he considers vital to the we'll
being OF cities and their populations.
They are:
: l. The reconsideration of the ele-
ments which make up the city; the
amount and character of its industry,
the extent of its commercial enter
prise, with the probable growth and
direction of growth Of these, the dis
tribution of residential areas, with
especial consideration to the require
mentS Of the various economic groups,
to density, to recreational facilities,
and to the possibilities of special
treatment for outstanding sites.
2. The reconsideration of zoning
ordinances based upon the above, and
the relating of coming to practical
possibilities.
3. The development of comprehen-
sive traffic systems which will allow
for Swift-moving through-t travel,
which will outline neighborhoods and
discourage the intrusion into them of
unnecessary traffic and which will pro-
vide for ample automobile parking in
areas of business and dense residen-
tial use.
4. The co-ordinated planning of
undeveloped outlying areas destined
for future urban use, and the develop
ment of the means of control of these
areas.
S. The co-ordinated replanning of
areas blighted by deterioration or
speculative selling.
liC o<1lo PAO-
duces straightjacketS has defeated its
purpose. Real estate subjected to
restraints which stif1e normal expan-
sions must suffer as great contortions
as when it is allowed to suffer from
too loose or too little planning. The
rigidity of many plans laid down FOR
too long time in the future and the
tendency to require indefinite extern
sion of the inf1exible gridiron. as is
now the case in many metropolitan
areas, are cases in point, where plan
ming has actually aided in destroy
ing the type of stability vital to cities. "
There is not a city in the country
for which such a program as I have
outlined is not needed. 1t would pre-
vent loss of value in real estate and
at the same time create confidence
among, and provide comfort, safety
and health for urban dwellers."
To protect real estate values, he
added, and to support the vast indus
try of building and selling houses,
the Housing Administration wishes to
see the insured mortgage widely
adopted and the insurance cost re-
duced to minimum. AS long as the
risk remains in the mortgage busi-
ness, he said, the cost must be ab-
sorbed and to achieve a lowering of
the cost of insurance the Housing Ad-
ministration seeks the assistance of
every force which may serve to elimi-
nate risk.

can have the protection they need SO
badly. The property owner can ar.
range through his painter or paint
dealer to have the work done imme-
diately. No down payment Is 're-
quired, unless the owner wishes to
make one. and the payments may be
made over as long, period as 1S
months.
"The millions Of home owners who
have their life savings invested In
their homes will welcome this con-
venient way to protect the property
they have worked so hard to gain.
Only TOO well they are realizing that
paint-thirsty homes are in great dam
ger-that they are about to be taken
away from them-not by foreclosure

Paint Protects Home.
ITO neglect to keep your investment
protected with paint Is as serious as
letting your insurance policy lapse
as important as keeping up the in
terest or payments on the mortgage.
Your painter is the best friend your
house has.
