_“SMALL -HOMES -MAKE_ CITY —— Egn Testimony of Expert Who' s’ Warm Advocate .of Bullding Zone. Idea During Twm's Youth. “Malte d city of the owners of ‘smal’ homes and you will have a well-run clty.,” This was the verfiet of Ld\u\ul w. Basset, counsel ¢f the zoning com- mittee of -the New York board of estl- *mate and father of the zoning laws. after an exhaustive review of city de- velopment under the ' building- zone system.» : “Before. the days’ of <&ening,” said he, “the head of a family would be forced two or three times to sell his private home becduse he was ‘pushed out by advancing stores or apartment houses. Then he viould ysually move to New Jersey, Long Island or. West- chester, and New York would' lose a. good citizen. A home owner takes & Iively interest in local improvement and neighborhood welfare. Untfl New York adopted the zoming plan, thed| was no encouragenient for small homc owners inside of the city Jimits. “Now the owner of a stiall home is better protected in many parts than if he goes out into.suburban’ villages. “Small detached ‘homes. are spring- ing up rapidly in all of the outlyng boroughs, especially in* “‘Brooklyn’ and Queens. The -home owner, sees. that: in residence location he'is protected agalnst ‘invasion of stores, small. fac- tories and garages. In -the D and B districts he is safe from large ‘tene- ments and apartments. He is willing to put his earnings in‘the equity of a small home and pay off his second mortgage by installments because’the zoning plan has lessened the dangers | that would wipe out his home eqmty <4 ALWAYS TIME WELL SPENT "cleanup wuk,—":an Instltullor\, Should Be a Feature of Every Town and Vlllaue_ 3 Cleanlin as we have bheen reliably nformed, is next to godline: And community cleanliness is just as fmportant ‘as individual cleantiness, i we are to Have a pleuwant, heal Lm’ul and decent ¢ity to livesin, Milwaukee has always occupled an | enviable position among the cities of the ‘country for,its civie tidiness, and the annual institution known‘as “clean- up week” has helped -materially to this’ happy state of affairs.

Bverything is becoming 50 complex—5o comple: I don’t know what will happen to us in fifty years if thig thing keeps on.: “Life is becoming 8o intricate, so involved, so.mixed up that. it is, difficult to tell what will hapfen ‘as ‘the’Tesult of any act. Governmeit, finance and industry ‘are daily’ becoming more mixed in a maze that human ingenuity seems incapable of untangling.” These. fellows at Washington pass laws without any more knowledge of what effects they will produce than they might have if they were children. = They pass a law to do one thing and it does the re- verse. They press a button here and a totally unexpected explosion hap- pens:there: * This is ‘so because the whole fabric of our civilization'is be- coming so intricate that nobody. can follow its’ deslg'qs. I began to notice this many years ago when'a legislature out West passed a law giving' a bounty for the killing of coyotes, only to_discover a few years later that in the absence of coyotes jackrabbits were multi- plying so rapidly that the law hadito'be repenled and a bounty offered Ior | the killing of rabbits, foe ot - Forty years ago Herbert Spencer wrote some wonderfully illuminating chapters on the complexity of civilization in his day. Spencer took up 34 laws enacted by the British parliament for the relief of the poor and demonstrated that. 32 of these laws' actually harmed. the poor. ‘Oh, but Spencer was a great man. He had the finest brain that England ever produced. : I ‘But. the complexlty of clvxllzatlo o Spencers dfly was as hothing in comparison with what it is-now. The curve of complexity is rising rapidly, whereas our ab?llty to cope with“the problems of ‘complexity is increasing only very slowly:- Sir Joshua Reynolds was right when he said, “There is no expedlcnt %o which & man will not-resort to avoid the real labor of thinking.” Think- ing is the hardest thing in the world for those to do who have not formed where in the world ‘we see men trying to escape the full use of their minds. In business affairs the tendency is to escape thinking. In the hoard of directors of a great corporation the man with' the glibbest tongue is likely to swing the rest because they do not want to takerthe trouble to think out problems for themselves: " The poss)lnlltles for the development of the human brain are almost infinite. Think of that boy; twelye years old who can play 25 games of chess at once and beat the best experfs in ‘the world."
