 the radial element, the rectangular, and ring systems, and curved 

 or zigzag streets being combined therewith, so as not merely to

 such a way that in respect of convenience and of imposing effects, 

 the city will be as perfect as possible. In Fig. 9 above, I have 

 given an existing example of ring or polygonal streets ; it is part 

 of New Orleans. — G.H.K.
