Town-Planning. . .
Does town-planning pay? Judging
from recent legislation in England it
does. The gnrden city of Letchworth,
some titty miles from London. has
demonstrated 11181 beeuty'and profit .
may go hand-ln~hand by paying a
bonus-dividend of four per cent. to
the investors, who are also its citizens.
This successful result has created such
a favorable impression that a law has
been passed in that country requiring.
than 20.000 to submit. within a cer-
tain period, plans (or city improve—
ment.
Town-planning, or course. is co.
operation. It means, tor instance.~
that when important building opera;
tions are projected the plans should
be drawn. as far as is possible. with
a view to harmonizing with the ex:-
roundings or. better still. with t e
pioneer purpose of blazing the. trail
for the gradual betterment of those
surroundings.
That is one kind of town-planning
which. it it had been Norwalk's policy
from the beginning, would never have.
permitted. let us say. the neck-cloa-
bottle shape or North Main Street. at '
its Junction with Washington Street.
to clutter up the indie as street-
cars. delivery-trucks and honking
pleasure cars slowly and impatiently
wait their turn to pass out} of a thor-
oughfare which is narrowest where it
should be widest! Costly to change?
Perhaps. But. at present. it is‘n ob-
Ject lesson of hows. busy street should
not be laid out.
There is another form of town-
planning and one‘ which is immediate-
ly practical here in Norwalk. They
are doing it in Ohio and the tires is
an old one. It's a revival of the pri-
mitive New England town meeting. In
Ohio. however. the citisens do :‘ot
gather to talk politics but matters of
local interest. Education extension
tages—o! playgrounds; visiting lec-
§urers to talk on vital every-day sub-
ccts: gymnasium; raising. the stand-
ards ot the moving~picturesl keeping
unsightly garbage-cans oi: the side-
walk and all the varied interests
which go to make a city s. pleasant
place tor all its citizens. are discussed
by the community in open ' semion.
Does it pay? Big dividends.—-~in the
enthusiasm to one’s home town which
such meetings kindle. Big dividends.
—when seekers for sites tor-factory or
business get that first impression—so
important—o! a live, prosperous. up.
to-date city.
or come. the real punch inrthe
idea of such "town-planning"-meet.
ings is that these matters are picked
right out of politics and put where

Investigating Committee to Ask General

courage Locai Interests to Relief Harmful Situation
HARTFORD. 'Jan. :o.-—Establish-
men: of "sanitary districts" through-
out ths» state as a means“ toward
eliminating the harmful pollution or
Connecticut rivers. is to be recom-
mended to the General Aesembl
the commission appointed to ti-
gate the pollutionoot streams. Four-
teen conclusions have been formul-
ated by the commission. including
one for an appropriation of 350.000
to carry out the recommendations
made. The idea of the Military dis-
tricts.‘ according to the commission's
report to the legislature. “is to on-
com «local interests and initiative
and the better handling of the prob-
able dnauclal cost or a proogram of
relief from stream and water pollu-
tion in each of such districts."
The plan »is to have each sanitary
district include all the territory in-
volved in one or more waterheads.
By this means. the commission bo—
ileves. the municipalities. industries.
and individuals in such a district
would be united. and their qmbined
credit made the basis of financing the
prom necessary to relieve the
situation in this district. It is pro-
posed that these sanitary districts be
instituted and regulated by state
autho'rity.
