Show Planning Board Names Chairman; Will Work Out Master City Plan Directed By W. J. Phillips Chairman, Group Recently Made Tour Of City As Preliminary In Working Out Master Plan W. J. Phillips was appointed chairman of the Springville Spring-ville Planning Board when they met to organize on Friday evening of last week. Hasting Smith was appointed secre- tary. According to a report by Mayor Sterling Price, the board recently made a tour of the city with a view of setting up a program to be carried out for the benefit and improvement of the city in years to come, in regard to streets, sidewalks side-walks and curb and gutter. It has been pointed out that a master plan worked out on a long range program would save the city money. Too often building lots are sold where streets should later be opened up and the city is faced with the necessity of purchasing pur-chasing the property at a higher price than if the land had been designated beforehand for the opening of a street, it is pointed out. Such a plan would also add to the attractiveness of the city. When the master plan is worked out, a map will be made designating designat-ing where new streets are' proposed pro-posed and where other construction construc-tion is planned. When a prospective prospec-tive home builder or other citizen desires to buy or sell land for building lots, he may consult the map and know just what he is purchasing or selling. The map may be seen at the city hall, at the engineer's office, or at the county offices where it (Continued on Page Twelve) PLANNING BOARD NAMES CHAIRMAN (Continued from Page One) is to be recorded.
