Excerpt from Fine Arts Journal, Vol. 27: March 1912Everyone of us should know the proposi tions contained in the Chicago Plan. Brief ly it is a scheme invented by certain distin guished people who see plainly the necessity of improving the avenues of circulation. In order to facilitate business, and of beautify ing certain portions of the city in order to give the people (although they are now in different) opportunities for recreation and physical improvement, on the principle that All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. That the people will immediately appreciate a betterment of conditions is very evident. They all do somewhat ap preciate it now, but look upon it as an unattainable luxury.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
