SECTION OF ORDNANCE MAP OF EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND 

 Scale 880 feet to one inch. 



This map shows'an area of suburban agricultural land within a radius of 2\ miles of the centre 

 of the city of Edinburgh. There are no building sub-divisions, as the land is not allotted for 

 building until it is ripe for the purpose. All the land is intensively cultivated and is rented to 

 farmers and nurserymen at from $15 to $25 per acre. It is taxed at half its agricultural value 

 so long as it is used for agriculture. In a large Canadian city this land and thousands of acres 

 further out would be lying practically idle because of speculation in building lots. 



The map shows details of buildings, etc., indicated on all small scape maps in Great Britain. 

 Similar maps should be prepared for Canadian cities, a work which would afford a suitable field 

 of employment for many ex-service men.
