40 WINNETKA TALK November 7, 1925 SHOW DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL PLAN IDEAS Commissioner Penfield Reports Progress of Subdivision and Platting Rules Frederick W. Penfield, of Glencoe, county commissioner and chairman of the committee on subdivision plats and zoning of the Chicago Regional Plan- ning association, in a statement this week told of the success of regional planning in Cook county and asserted that it had saved a vast amount of money and time. Mr. Penfield is also a member of the Cook county board and the Glencoe zoning board of ap- peals. His statement was issued fol- lowing a meeting of state and county officials held in Chicago last week. "By controlling street widths and locations in accord with a master plan, we feel we are doing some fundamental planning for the future growth of pop- ulation in this region," said Mr. Pen- field. "Our success in obtaining the unanimous support of real estate sub- dividers in Cook county has shown what sound planning may be done simply by bringing the subdividers to- gether with the various officials. The subdividers themselves worked on these regulations along with city planners, the surveyors' association, county high- way engineers, and others, and when the rules were completed all agencies were in full agreement." State Favors Schemes "We were surprised," said Mr. Pen- field, "and of course very deeply pleased when twenty-two state and county officials gathered together a few days ago to study the regulations drafted by our committee of the Re- gional Planning association.
