Show Time to Plan Is Now. There Is scarcely anything In the smaller places that may not bs changed, the city planner finds. For example. In the smaller cities, railroad approaches may be set right; grade crossings eliminated; water fronts redeemed re-deemed for commerce or recreation, or both (Chicago Is doing fine work tn that direction) ; open spaces may be acquired even In partly built-up sections; sec-tions; a satisfactory street plan can be carried rat and adequate main thoroughfares established ; public buildings can be grouped; a park system sys-tem can be composed for gradual and systematic development. "All of these elements of a city plan," says Mr. Nolen, expert city planner, "are Indispensable In-dispensable sooner or later. They may be had In the small city with relative ease and slight cost."
