PLANNINS OF
GARDEN CITIES
Workingmen's Homes That Are
Economical and Sanitary.
SIMPLE AND ATTRACTIVE.
These Have Met With Qreat Success In
England, While Also the Idea Has
Been Taken Up In Germany and
Elsewhere—Rents Are Low and Own
erships Encouraged.
[By Frank Koester, consulting engineer,
New Tork: author of "Modern City
Flannlng and Maintenance."]
The garden city lu its best form Is a
well organized development, In which
from 100 to 500 homes make tip a unit,
which Is liiteuded to grow little If any
larger. When additional demand
springs up for quarters a new garden
city is formed elsewhere, and thus the
Identity of the existing one is preserv
ed indefinitely, and the residents, in the
expectation of spending their lives In
their own homes, have every Incentive
to embellish them and keep their
grounds in the best possible condition.
The garden city lu plan should bo
laid out in the simplest, yet most at
tractive inanuer. There boing no traf
llc of any consequence the streets
should be planned with the degreo of
Irregularity which Insures charm.
Some of the streets should be winding,
while the straight ones should have
suitable terminals. Each house should
be provided with a spacious garden,
as it Is from the gardens that such
MATN STREET OF A QAUDEV CITY.
cities take their name. Sucli gardens,
though partially (levied to vegetable
raising, should also he well laid out
with flower beds, and the whole gar
den city should be subject to such reg
ulations us will insure stiUlcleiit atten
tion being given to the gardens to pro
duce the iuteniled sippoaranie. Grass
plots, trees, hedged, shrubbery aud ar
liors should be in alcndr.n^e both In
the front and in the res:- of the houses.
The neglect of the resident.' should not
be allowed to mar the appearance of
the city.
The houses i_ay be quite simple and
compact in ties ,'u, but they should all
be Individual i,i character and by no
means the frightful rows of boxes, all
exactly alike, which are put up for
workmen's houses in most rural or
suburban places devoted to such pur
poses.
The economical desi.rn of the build
ings aud the small expenses for streets
make the housing cost small, so that
the rent may le low or the workman
may in a reasonable length of time
become the owner of his own home.
Garden cities shoui-J be laid out with
in easy reach of transit facilities, and
natural advr.nta; i s of site should be
seized whenever ; issible to give Indi
viduality and charm to the plan.
The sanitary pr visions of the gar
den cities should l« carefully carried
out, and the detail • should be simple,
but solid In construction and as Inex
pensive as possible.
A garden city Is pri' ••ipally a place
of residence, aud it t '.<ould have as
few stores as liosslb'.:-, only those of
the most necessary < haracter being
provided. A school ::iay be tlie only
building of a public character.
In garden cities, however, which are
larger and located in a more or less
isolated position the suburban charac
ter is lost, aud they become small
cities and should be accordingly pro
vided with a great number and vari
ety of stores aud public buildings.
The city may have its own civic or
ganization, with schools, a library,
churches, museum, theaters and the
like, and be a complete civic unit
Garden cities have met with greater
success in England than anywhere else
as yet, although a greater number and
variety of them are now In process of
formation in Germnny.
The principal English garden clues
are Tort Sunlight, near Liverpool;
Bourneville, near Birmingham, and
Letchworth, near London, while the
leading German garden city is Ilelle
rau, iieai- Dresden. The numerous
workingmen's colonies in Germany,
which first began to be founded about
1803, are earlier prototypes of the
present garden cities, but on a less
comprehensive scale and with lesa'
open ground. , -

G. A Henty, the writer for youth,
frequently got letters from admirers all
over the world asking for his auto
graph and offering criticisms of his
books. In a story of the peninsular
war ho made two boys disguise them
selves by staining their faces with
iodine. Shortly after the book was
p-ibllshed he recolved a letter from a
boy, who said he was a chcmlst's as
sistant, stating that while that special
incident was represented as taking
place In 1S08 iodine was not discovered
until 1811, three years later.
