TOWN PLANNING FOLLOWED BY BAD DEVELOPMENT 



Although no expense was spared to secure a proper plan for this city, the fact that part of the town was laid out 

 in straight lines with rectangular lots prevented the natural difficulties of the site from being overcome to the 

 extent that would have been possible with a more flexible plan. Whatever advantages the straight lines possess in 

 such a case are more than counterbalanced by the expensive and inconvenient development.
