It reveals a mixture Of dwelling
and commercial houses, not COM
patible with good planning. Both
business and private residences
| would benefit from an elimination
of the situation, the secretary OBJ
served.
The map of structures depicts
those blocks filled with sub-stan-
dard buildings; those with struc-
lures of fair variety and those
with good buildings. In each block
indicated as being one of the three
types, IS per cent of the struc-
lures determine whether the block
is sub-standard; fair, or good.
The observer is struck by the
vast number of substandard blocks
the numer is approximately 40
per cent of the total.
Map No. shows the Tide Water
Power company bus routes, play
grounds, and schools, developed
and undeveloped park areas.
Those spaces indicted by parks
stand out wildly to challenge the
planners.
Map No. 4 reveals the three
types of streets to be found in the
city - asphalt, brick and graded.
In the southeastern section Of
the city a number of the streets
are of the graded type. Some Of
thsse should be converted into paw
ed thoroughfares to take care of
heavy traffic load the map dis
closes.
The fourth map is expected to
assist the planners in determining
what streets sould be made into
thoroughfares, and to reveal other
street-planning needs.
The board secretary emphaeized
that city extension is only a part
of the work of the City Planning
board, that there is vast quantity
of planning to be accomplished in
other fields. With the four maps in
hand to serve as practical guide
to planning the board is antici-
pating considerable activity in the
coming months.
