The conclu- sions of the committee are based on personal observation and analysis of experiences of hundreds of American | communities, seeking to find how city Planning actually works out in practice. “City planning.” the committee said, “encourages a better centers of employment, and thereby | reduces the number of employes who must live near the business center. By providing an adequate co-ordinating | street system it reduces delays in ransit and so makes wider areas for | dwellings available within a given time for travel between home and work. Hence the success with which the auto- | mobile enables city populations to spread out depends largely on good city planning. “While some broad avenues and wide | streets are necessary to care for through trafiic and to give a s to a residen- tial district, minor streets with narrow roadways and inexpensive pavements | are adequate for the traffic serving the ' | immediate neighborhood. A narrow | | paved roadway need not lessen the dis- | | tance between the houses on the two | sides of the street. It permits wider | grass plots. and thus makes the streets more attractive. At the same time development of the land is cheaper and | more families are enabled to own their | homes.” i The committee urged provision for ! | adequate parks and playgrounds and, | proper public recreation | Summing up its findings. mittee said: “American cities have found that following a well considered i city plan is far superior to the usual | haphazard growth. The cost of pre- paring such a plan is so reasonable. and its advantages are so great. thal ! the arguments for it are unans able.” Five ways of supporting a plan by the citizens were enumerated bv the committee as follows To consider the broad features of the | plan in selecting and developing sils~‘ for various purposes. Support_adequate appropriations for preparation of a comprehensive plan. Support the city council in measures to execute the plan. { Encourage othcr property owners (ow conform to the plan. | Personally advocate city planning. e GAS KILLS “MAYORESS” | OF GREENWICH VILLAGE Earned Title| | Cafes of | Model. !
