Mr. Charles Mulford Robinson, au- 
thor of “The Improvement of Towns 
and Cities” and “Modern Civic Art,” 
and well known to readers of Park 
AND Cemetery as the author of city 
plan reports for a number of cities, 
has recently written another work of 
much importance to city improve- 
ment in “The Width and Arrange- 
ment of Streets,” just published by 
the Engineering News Co. This vol- 
ume is a careful study in town plan- 
ning that has for its particular ob- 
ject the urging of a more scientific 
study of the laying out of streets to 
better adapt them to the needs of the 
particular traffic that uses them. Mr. 
Robinson's chief theme is the need 
for less rigid standardization in 
street platting; for wider main streets, 
and for the narrowing of those that 
have little traffic value. The book is 
the result of a first hand study of 
some thirty towns and cities in this 
country, a special research course in 
city planning, and a recent visit to 
Europe and to the Town Planning 
Conference at London, where the 
theme mentioned above was so cor- 
dially received by the expert town 
planners that Mr. Robinson has am- 
plified the study and put into book 
form with many illustrations to en- 
force his points. The work sells for 
$2.10, postpaid, and may be ordered 
from Park and Cemetery.
