REPLANNING IN SMALL CES No Reason Why Gommunities Should Not Be Attractive. - CORREGTING OLD ERRORS At No Time In Any American Munici- pality, Except In Most Recent Days, ' Mas There Been Any Attempt to Pre- dispose and Plan Our Cities and Towns. The. question has been frequently asked, “Is. replanning practical in a small city?” says George E. Kessler in the Town Development Magazine. I wish we might realize that replan- ning a small city is not all a mystery. It.is nothing more than applying to citles. the common sense that we must expend in the course of our business and in our lives every day. It is noth- ing more than putting our house in or- der, that we may live and work com- fortably in that house. A community is based first on the fact that there is the land upon which to place that community, upon that land to make the transposition of peo- ple and their goods. . Now this, called city planning, brings us face to face at once, then, with SPACE FOR TIE CARING OF SHADE TREES. the problems of laying out a communi- ty. As a matter of fact, no community starts in that way. The average com- munity began as a small settlement. The railroad station was probably first. A few houses were started near the station, and later some one bought lots for building purposes. Buat at no time in any American community, except in most recent times, has there been any | attempt to predispose and plan our eities and towns Today our problem 2 bndlde It Will Pay You to become a regu- lar advertiser in =This Paper= Jewelry you need in hot weather Summer costumes require dain- ty, inexpensive jewelry—arti-~ cles which serve a useful pur; pose in addition to being pretty ornaments.

In his 5 thé feal subatance of replanning any of these communities. ‘While 1 happen to touch on this let me suggest the point that has brought failure to quite a number of cities: The men who have to finally pay the bills fear the cost of changing things— fear the cost of making developments. If the attempt is made to aggregate the cost of changing any community, great or small, a mistake wiil immedi- ately be made. The result is that, no matter how such things are brought before the public, they will fail each time. Business men do hundreds of things daily in their active business life that cost money, yet they do not notice it. : In the small citles in replanning problems there will doubtless be met as a principal element the street sys- tem itself. There is always an effort lines that already exist, conform to lines of highways along which they On the other hand, the opposite 1s too often sure—that the boundary lines of lands do not conform with these with- in or without a particular property. Therefore the subdivision is often on lines where the streets do not meet. That condition forces the expenditure of larger sums to replan, to tear down and straighten out. ever, the usual trouble in the small city is a serfous misconception of the use of streets. Sometimes it comes from the efforts of the people interest- ed in selling paving materials.

It is economical to buy, inexpensive to lay and costs practically nothing to maintain. Itisweather-tight, light weight, clean, sanitary and fre-retardant. It is guaranteed for 5, 10 cr 15 ycars, according to ‘There are many ro!l roofings on the market, but only one CERTAIN-TEED. It pays to get the best. It costs no more to lay a CERTAIN-TLED roof than it does to lay a poor roof, but there is a vast difercnce in the wear. You can’t tell the quality of a roofing by looks or feel. Your only safety is the label, Be sure that it is CERTAIN-TEED~—then you are certain of quality and guaranteed satisfaction. Certain-teed Slate-Surfaced Asphalt Shingles wood and slate shingles for residences. They cost less, looking, wear better, won't fall off, buckle or split.

A study of the use of the street, whether it 18 a thoroughfare and de- pendent upon such considerations as the proper width of roadway and al- ways, 8o far as possible, securing space for carriages, will enable its require- ments to be seen and properly met. Space for the caring of shade trees, for a nice width of pavement with the curb elevation of the height of the curb, should always be allowed for. 1 believe that all realize where pri- vate property is improved on an unim- proved street that the value of proper- ty thus improved is not anything like as good as it would be upon some properly improved street. If nothing else was done in a community but properly to improve streets and plant trees upon them it would make of a city an exceedingly beautiful city. Music Kills Men Young. Patnting and sculpture are conducive to long life. Yet music kills men young. Schubert, with all his wealth of song, died at thirty-one; Mozart, who danced and laughed his melodies into being, died at thirty-five, the same age as Bellini; Bizet, the composer of “Carmen,” died, like Purcell, at thirty- seven; Mendeissohn survived to thirty- eight; Chopin, who loved life so well, had done with it at thirty-nine, while Weber expired at the age of forty snd Schumann at forty-six.
