Stresses Rapid Growth of City.
In his talk to the committee

ming and Civic Association with
prominent local civic, business and
professional leaders as members
Gen. Young stres Sed the quick
growth of the city since 1940-a
growth which hasn't: produced the
money to pay its Wshy.
The city has grown by 25O.00e
people since then, I've said, and
shows little sign of getting any
smaller. Special taxes are permit
ting the COMMISSIONERS to spend
some $47,000,000 for scVne highway
and water improvement s, but there
is little money outside OF this, he
continued. !
The city spent s16O, 5000 90 at pres
ent prices for Improvements to
catch up with the 1918-1s40 quar-
ter-million population increase, he
said
In the fiscal year 1s47, the city is

said.
The siX-year program aSkS that
no more land be taken out of Taxa

he continued. There is some i'm
proved property in congested secSsions
which is needed.
There may be need for more 1Ned-
eral purchases unless some of the
large land-oWning agencies in the
city can be moved elsewhere If they
can, Gen. Grant said, the Plannff lg
Commission is empowered to recon l.
mend transfers of the land to othe n

he said, certainly would lead to the !
