Other heavy rails included the coal

CITY PLANNING
EXPERTS GATHER
J. Horace McFarland Tells of
Convention Held at
Kansas City
J. Horace McFarland has just re
turned froir. attendance upon the
Ninth National Conference on City
Planning, held at Kansas City, Mo.,
the tlrst three days of this week.
This conference was originally ar
ranged by the Sage Foundation, but
has for several years been continued
because of tls extreme value to thostf
who are working in city betterment.
When asked about this meeting
Mr. McFarland said:
"The conference was the most
largely attended and Influential con
ference that has yet taken place in
the United States upon these im
portant subjects. There was present
ij. strong note of patriotism in its ap
plication to economy in city pro
gress.
"The delegates included practically
every noted city planner or municipal
engineer in the United States, from
California to New York and l'rom
Texas to the northern tier of States.
"There were many members of
city planning commissions and others
concerned in municipal advance, in
constant and interested attendance.
The session* of the conference were
full of Interest and suggestion. When
men like Frederick Law Omsted,
George E. Keesler, Thomas Adams,
and other profession a-1 men,
whose fees run from SIOO to S3OO
a day are willing to sit for three days
in discussion, giving of their very
best to all who apply, it will be
noted that no surprise need be ex
pressed at the presence of live city
planners and those Interested In city
advance from all parts of the coun
try.
"Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and
several other Pennsylvania cities
were represented, but Harrisburg
tailed to connect in any official way.
I sometimes wonder why our City
Planning Commission does not at
tend sessions of this and similar
organizations, at which are dis
cussed problems that apply im
mediately and particularly to the
welfare of Harrisburg.
"But the special occurrences of the
sessions are-well worth noting. Nel
son P. Lewis, Chief Engineer of the
Board of Estimate and Apportion
ment, New York City, who was Har
rlsburg's expert adviser in the first
paving program, spoke on 'Street |
Widening to Meet Traffic Demands.'
There was a notable discussion on
trolley terminals and on electrifica
tion. The most important statement
in respect to which was undoubtedly
made by Lawsoa Purdy, president of
the Department of Taxes and Assess
ments, of New York City, who has to'
do with getting and spending two
hundred millions of dollars annually
in the metropolis. Mr. Purdy's state
ments in respect to districting and
zoning, and the effect of the work be
gun in New York in this direction
nearly a year ago, were intensely in
teresting.
"If Harrisburg is to protect her
parks, her residence sections and her
business locations, she cannot much
longer neglect attention to what is
being done In other less progressive
clttes In aonlng and districting, under
legal relations found to be abso
lutely Impregnable and wholly avail
able to us.
"George B. Dealey, the able pub
lisher of the Dallas News, of Dallas,
Texas, presided over a session upon
the planning of cities and towns, In
the course of which Thomas Adams,
the town planning adviser of the
Commission of Conservation of Can
ndo. an English engineer of great
ability, made a notable address.
"Contact with the businessmen of
Kansas City was had in a great
luncheon meeting held on Tuesday in
the same convention hall which last
Sunday welcomed Joffre and Vlviani

"I addressed some 1,600 men and
women at this luncheon meeting,
whicii included not only the Cham
ber of Commerce, but all the active
civic organizations of Kansas City,
on "The Relation of City Planning to
Business.' I have at no time found
a more interested and responsive
audience, and I take it that the
business facts of city planning are
likely to be considered in all com
munities desiring to advance econ
omically, rapidly, and with justice
to all."
Mr. McFarland called attention to
the unique situation In Kansas City,
where the Kansas City Star, even in
these war times, gave two columns
to a page and a half each day, and
in both morninsr und evening editions
to the proceedings of the City Plan
