In short,” said Mr. Eppich, “it is the purpose of city, planning to control the city’s growth in the inter- ests of public economy, efficiency, @on- venience and harmony so that there will result a more complete and sat- isfactory structure for business and residence.” DEVELOPMENT NOW.

He will address the real estate association at a diniier to be held tonight. ~ J. T. Gratiot, who is a personal friend of Mr. Eppich, acted as chairman for the forum ineeting. Ben Scherck was in charge of the music. In addition to the speaker; L. A. Reed, chairman of the city plan.committee, Archie Weid- ner, B. B. Brooks and Mayor Pelton were other speakers. “The question of city. planning is one of the utmost importance, to sany growing city,” Mr.“Eppich said. ~ “Iam wonderfully impressed with the growth of Casper and with the hustl- ing spirit ‘to be found here, altho it is/ what I had expected from the reports I have heard. Your secretary just re- ported that you have 1,160 members, which means that one person in every 15 of your population is a Chamber of Commerce member. Altho Denver has_ 4,000 members for its Chamber of Com- | merce, the ratio is one in 65. \ “This shows a fine spirit in Taye | community and with a city plan to a | ordinate your activities, Casper should ; become a fine and beautiful city.

The man who proposed the establishment of the city park of Denver in 1878 was thot to be crazy because he wanted to purchase land so far™from the center of the city, but he is living today to see how wise his plan has proved.’ “The city of Philadelphia. is now spending $14,000,000 to repair costly er- rors in the planning of that city and it ds costing Chicago $12,000,000 to widen Michigan ayenue boulevard. “Denver has profitted by the experi- ences of others and while some streets have had to be widened the city is now acquiring the boulevards inthe out- skirts which will later be improved ‘with’ the growth of the city. > “Too late are sad words for any city, and so I hope that Casper will plan now for what is to be,” “L.
