Influence Used. ‘While the bankers cannot be said to be forcing development of the district along pianned lines, they are using their influence by directing loans along the most productive channels, and by aid- in the development of a plan which | would be productive. “If such & plan can be worked out.” | Lester said, “there should be no lack | of money. If such a plan is not worked out, investment should be difficult.” e planners took a sample section of 26 blocks, which eventually they hope to build into a virtually self-constituted neighborhood.

The project would cost between $30,000,000 and $50,000.000, depending on the size of the buildin, Lester said the fundamental to the whole plan is the development of social value, as a precedent to economic value. ‘While rents are very low in the district now, people simply will not take ad- vantage of them because of the en- vironment Lester estimated present population of the whole district is about 250, on as compared to 530.000 in 1910, that despite the seeming conclusmn tmt ]nw rents would attract more ple | uring a period of business decnne the district is losing about five families s day.
