 reserve under tlie jurisdiction of the city a belt of 

 woodland separating the induetrial section from the 

 residential and business zones from the point of view 

 of these properties on the town side (located it is 

 to be hoped on the windward side) of such an industrial 

 screen, the benefits are too obvious and need no discus-

 calculating of industrial interests, proximity to a 

 forest tract, in the light of modern business psycology. 

 if located near enough to the industrial plant, the 

 workman might seeks its shade during the lunch hour. 

 Such surroundings would mean rest and relaxation 

 promotive of renewed efficiency very different from 

 an hour spent sitting in the suffocating air under 

 the shade of the coal trestles, chemical feats, 

 elevator shafts and the like.

 stressed In any given reservation's no reason for 



concluding that the forest may serve this use only. 

 As has been shown above there are examples that 

 conclusively prove the feasibility of management for 

 combined purposes. The fact that 5«^ « policy 

 has not been carried out in the past is also no 

 reason to hinder its adoption in the future. Of

 highest use as a recreation ground pure and simple, 

 and no other use would be so economically profitable.
