Advantages of Town Planning pe First Article of a Series of 4 Uxbridge can be made a better town ~ Have we any definite plans to take to live im, to work in, to shop in and care of the future growth of the town? to seek entertainment a place where you own property, where your child-' ren play and go to school, and where, perhaps, you hope they will grow up These are all good rea- | sons why you all have a personal ide terest in the improvement of Ux- bridge, What we need is-an "overall plan" to. make it what we want. The "closer we come to this plan the more convenient and pleasant your life can be. Such an "overall plan" will ensure the orderly growth of all the needs in the community. It will safeguard your pocket book, protect your pro- perty from deterioration. ous usé of our land in town will make it more attractive, more parking spa- i ces, improved streets all of which will bolster the value of commercial, resi- "dential and industrial properties which they serve, This "overall plan" soundly conceiv- ed and carried out can help to enhance real estate values, the principal fi- nancial basis of our town. Casal the most effective ways of putting the plan into action is to guide the use of land. This is done by "zoning" into districts, ®agh one set aside for the most apropriate use. The questions for you good people to answel are: - ' Is Uxbridge an ideal place in which "to live or could it stand a few im- provements? a Harmoni- which divides the town = | i- Is there anything we can do to cor- rect things which have not been wise- ly planned? Have we definite ideas about our | streets and sidewalks and how they should be? Arve we satisfied with the "block: | system" , ricts ? Are we setting aside suitably located and large enough areas for future in- dustrial and business development for our public schools parks, playgrounds and new public buildings. While the responsibility for settling planning questions rests primarily with the town council who will always wel- come your interest and participation, you must remember that they are elected for one year. An "overall plan" must be devised and adopted by Uxbridge. subject, na- !turally, to minor ammendment from time to time but kept in the town clerk's office for he continual guid- ance of succeeding town councils thus ensuring continuity of the plan.
