city will help to make it increasingly 
convenient, agreeable and generally 
satisfactory as a place in which to live 
and work. Mr. Robinson’s report on 
Waterloo is handsomely printed and 
illustrated and very suggestive of the 
practical improvements necessary for 
the betterment of a cit\'. The titles 
of the chapters which give a good 
idea of the scope of the work are as 
follows: Some Shortcomings: City 
Hall Site; The Railroads; The River; 
The Park System: Street Extension; 
Public Market; and Conclusion. The 
.\merican Civic Association has under- 
taken to promote and guide the rapid- 
ly growing sentiment for City Plan- 
ning and as the first step in this di- 
rection has just issued in booklet 
form Frederick Law Olmsted’s ad- 
dress on “City Planning," delivered at 
the Rochester Conference on City 
Planning. The Association has made 
arrangements to place on general 
sale three of the recent city plan re- 
ports prepared by iMr. John Nolen, 
and they may be had as follows from 
the Secretary of the Association, 
Richard R. Watrous at the LTnion 
Trust Bldg., Washington, D. C. ;
