Village Plan
Hypothetical

An interesting prospect for the
future OF Belleville is seen in
hypothetical village planned for
its southern lake border by Smith,
Hinchman and Grylls, Inc. Detroit
architects, the Stran-Steel Division,
Great Lakes Steel Corporation and
knight Menard Co., realtors, De

posal was prepared for the Arch
tectural Forum" a trade magazine
and appears under the heading,
Satellite City.

sibility to industry and beauty of
location. >Included are such pros
poets as a heliport. Steel houses
would be provided for a population
OF 5000 and the business district
would be moved away from the
lake. A shopping and civic center
would be included leaving the more
beautiful portions OF the site for
homes and parks. The shopping
area would be planned on 100 per
cent pedestrian use, with parking
facilities provided on the borders.
The sidewalks would be covered
for greater convenience Of shop
pers during bad weather.
Public buildings would include
a city hall, municipal auditorium
and offices. central high school for
1000 pupils. motion picture thea.
tiers. motor court for tourists. main
service station, bus terminal, hos
pital. churches. clubs. neighborhood
shopping centers, athletic fields,
golf course and a park are also sd-
vised
Total cost OF the hypothetical
development is ;36.225, 900.

the problems that arise between the Southern Industrial
lists and the Southern Laborer These men, who for the

about the conditions under which southern laborer
works his relationship with his employers his wages or

interested IN collecting big fees from the laborers of

they are being used by the Southern ndustriass and
more so by the southern white mere tool in every
walk of life here the South It is constantly being said
that the Southern Indusriass should the needs

to whatever problems would between the groups
There is no doubt that the majority Negro aborers need
someone to represent them But this leadership must
