DENU_ HAROLD J. DANE, Editor. Narrow Residence Streets. Is Bemidji . imposing unnecessary expense on its property owners and disfiguring its appearance by fol- lowing the old custom of broad streets in the residence section. The question has already had some inves- tigation and is worth considering further. It is the opinion of the Pioneer that investigation will result in a definite policy of narrow streets with broad boulevards between the sidewalks and curbs. On Minnesota avenue the council has already answered a petition of property owners by es- tablishing lines for a narrow street with such boulevards, A movement is now on foot to organize the prop- erty owners into an association which will take charge of the beau- tifying of the boulevards. Streets in the residence section are not called upon to bear as heavy traffic as streets down town. All the room that is actually needed is enough for two rigs to pass easily. This can be done with room to spare on a twelve foot roadway. A wider roadway means unnecessary expense for grading and upkeep. Should a street car system eventually come, it hardly seems fair that the city should provide a road bed after granting a valuable franchise. The road bed could be taken off the boulevards ‘Wwhere necessary. On Minnesota avenue, the council has provided for a twenty-four foot highway. This is much wider than is actually needed and if the street should ever be paved, the roadway should be cut down materially. Six- teen ‘feet is an ample road in a resi- dence district. Twelve feet would not cause congestion where there is no traffic to congest, such as on the cross streets in Bemidji. Twenty feet should be the outside limit. The eighteen foot roadway which will be laid to Nymore will easily carry the traffic on that busy thoroughfare. How narrow a roadway actually is needed has been illustrated by inves- tigations at Winona, where some concrete country roads are to be built. They had been planned oth- erwise, but it was discovered that where the engineer had estimated rock for the cost of hauling, the property owners demanded six dol- lars a cord. This increased the cost 8o much that for a time the project was in the air. Then somebody sug- gested an eight-foot roadway of con- crete. People said the idea of a road- way so narrow was absurd. The en- gineer who had suggested the plan offered to prove his case, and by measurements showed that traffic on the most traveled roads was on a seven-foot base. So the eight-foot roadway plan was adopted. There are to be six inches of concrete, with gravel surfacing on both sides thin- ning to a feather edge. There is much more traffic on such a road as this than there is in a resi- dence street, so it is easy to see that a twelve foot roadway is ample. It is a clear waste of momney to bulld street roadways wider than they need to be. When the saving in area offers a chance to create gightly arrangements of boulevard- ing and tree-planting, the wide road- way sacrifices possibilities of greater beauty. Plenty of Farm Room. Herbert Quick, editor of Farm and Fireside, writes an interesting article in the current issue of his periodical on the causes that are back of the high cost of living. Following is an extract: “What we want to know is why there are not more people on the farms, 1 have just read in a maga- zine the explanation—they are all stirred up about it—that all the available land is taken up. That is true if fencing, and owning, and cut- and-covering is ‘taking up.’ But any farmer knows that there is room for twice, three 'times, as many people on the farms as are there now. I heard Mr. John W. Bookwalter of Spring- field and the rest of the world read a paper on this subject last winter. He called the attention of his hear- ers to the rush of people to'the cities as a great danger to tife-world—to civilization. “He seemed to miss the effect he himself has had on this matter of the rush of people to the cities. Mr. Bookwalter possesses from 60,000 to 70,000 acres of farmland. On this immense domain there live probably from a thousand to fifteen hundred people. This is in Nebraska. In Ne- braska, too, lives Arnold Martin, who on twenty-one tracts makes money, besides supporting his family. If the land owned by Mr. Bookwalter were owned by the men who work it, there would be living on it three thousand ordinary Nebraska farm folk, instead of fifteen hundred people. If it were owned by men like Arnold Martin, there would be room for three thou- sand five hundred families, or say a population of fifteen thousand people on this same estate, which now sup- ports perhaps fifteen hundred people on one-half the crops—and Mr. Book- walter on the other half! “What would be the effect on the cost of living if every tenant-farmer in these United States were-all at once changed into an owner of his farm? Would it not change most of them into better farmers? It surely would. They would manure more heavily, establish better rotations, buy fertilizers, cease skinning the land, begin trying to make the place adaquaté to the support not only ot the old folks, but of the children.” THIS IS MY:62nd BIRTHDAY. . Col. George Andrews. g Col. George “Andrews, the new ad- Jjutant-general of the United: States army, was born in Providence, R.
