posed. Many asked for detailed modifications of the plan. Most of these 

 were for the application of more restrictive regulations. A few associations 

 and individuals, while heartily commending the plan, urged that, especially 

 as to limitation of height and area covered, the plan be made more stringent. 

 Leading experts in various lines appeared and urged the supreme need for 

 the adoption of the proposed comprehensive plan in the interest of public 

 health, safety and general welfare. Subsequent to the hearings, the Com- 

 mission considered carefully the various suggestions and protests made 

 to it at the hearings and through written or oral communication. As a result 

 of such reconsideration it has made numerous changes in detail in its pro- 

 posed plan. The general plan and the principles underlying it have not been 

 materially changed. The revised plan is herewith submitted as the final 

 report of the Commission.
