WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1923 : LEADERS LAUD REGIONAL PLAN Dever, Wacker, and Roden Express Their Approval At a meeting of the Chicago Re- gional Planning committee held at the City club last week, the following letters containing constructive sug- gestions for its work were received from Mayor Dever, Charles H. Wacker and C. B. Roden, and ac- cepted with approval by the Com- mittee : From William E. Dever, Mayor of Chicago: "lI have received a copy of the report of the Chicago Regional Plan- ning committee. It strikes me that this report is about the broadest and may prove to be quite the most val- uable document of its kind that has been prepared in Chicago for many a day. "I have read it with great interest and profit. I hope some time in the near future to go over the matter with Mr. Perkins and your committee with a view to enlisting, so far as possible, the City of Chicago in the furtherance of the splendid plans of the committee." Highway Plan Under Way - From Charles H. Walker, Chair- man, Chicago Plan Commission: "lI have read the draft of your re- gional report with interest, and wish to suggest the desirability of incor- porating in it the fact that the outer highway map in the Plan of Chicago, copy enclosed, proposes three great circuits of exterior highways and a fan-shaped system radiating out from and in towards Chicago, 95% of which already is in existence, and only 5% additional needs to be developed to perfect the system." From Carl B. Roden, Chicago Public Library: "I have received and read with great interest the preliminary report of the Chicago Regional Planning commit- tee that was sent to me as one of those present at the meeting some months ago. My purpose in writing is primarily to respond to your re- quest for suggestions as to matter that might be included in the final re- port. 1 also avail myself of this op- portunity of expressing my admira- tion for the manner in which the sub- ject is being handled. © "What I have particularly in mind is the matter of library service in rural parts of Cook county. There is a population of 130,000, including 15,- 000 school children and 500 teachers in Cook County who are absolutely without access to any public collec- tion of books, however small. A coun- ty library service could be easily ar- ranged by our Chicago Public Libra- ry, but, of course, would have to be established upon a legal basis at the instance of the County Commissioners and at their expense. There is a stat- ute providing for such arrangements, but it remains for somebody else to start the movement in this county, and I venture to think that if the Planning Committee would give a little thought to the matter, some- thing might come out of it. I am very eager to see this absurd and un- pardonable neglect given some at- tention, and I am convinced that it could be provided for at very small cost. "l venture to submit this idea for the consideration of the committee. It will probably prove to be one of the least valuable of the suggestions you will get." The committee made progress on arrangements for another general conference, at which the planning project for Chicago and the region Librarian, within a radius of fifty miles will, be furthered. This conference is to be held some time in October. NEXT GREAT INVENTION The next great invention may be the radioscope. It will reproduce by wireless distant events within ten or fifteen seconds after they happen. It will develop its film direct from the receiving reel and the record will be made by the simple application of ra- dio tone and vibration to kin-tones of light and shade. Wizards are now working to win first place with this wonderful next invention. Yet, some poor and unknown youngster may be the one to succeed. You never can tell '--Editorial, New York Commer- cial.
