opportunities to establish parks in the town had been left until it was too late He noted that the proposed sites would soon be built over unless purchased at an early date at present and that the show if held so far away from the centre of town would not attract as many people If the show wants to go that far he said he under stood they had the use of the hunt club land to the south of town He

near future for com ment and criticism at the meet- held for this purpose As a prelude to such meetings the planning board feels that a digest of background information should be made generally avail

meetings can be more used As a starting point and to help realize the wide spread charac ter of planning the following notes on the worldpicture of municipal planning ore offered Planning Young On the North American where municipal councils hold office for short terms and are fully with short term problems including that of being reelected long term plan ning as on integral part of mun icipal administration is relatively young One of the early suc- efforts started about 1921 in the metropolitan area of New I city when forward looking and public spirited citizens organized and financed a large scale study of municipal problems in that area It is pointing out that this group spent some seven years in study before it released its first About the same time a differ- tent approach to planning was in a number of cities tic booster groups plans of various sorts were recommended Is the local administration Most of these plans were concerned with creating some sort of out standing municipal feature in which the citizens could take pride sized redevelopment programs were approved The millions of dollars allocated lo these projects constitute a sharply instructive signal as to what can happen when matters are left to take their natural course for these programs are in short means Today when these pressurized taken to recover lost values in plans have been long forgotten J
