TOSIPJUNS ' IDEAS What Should be Don With th Ex tension of th City Limits to Pre par Charlotte for 100,000 The , I eatnrra of City That Attract People Who Are Hunting xor a Home CM Should he Laid Out by ' a Corp of Engineers and a Land r scape Architect Tbe Advantage and Economies That Would Result ., From the Extension of the Limit and che Growth of the City. . "Now that the xtenslon of the city limits, and to th 2 1-2 mile line, Is assured it occur to those who have the interest of th City thougatitilly at heart that tha new territory to be taken In must t be.- developed along scientific and .systematic lines to make Charlotte the beautiful and progressive city that It snould be a fsw year from now. Mr. D. A. Tompklna' addreaa before the genera al extension committee Tuesday ;Cght waa along those lines. Speaking with an Observer reporter yesterday. I'r. Tompklna recurred to nls remarks of the previous night and outlined his Idea as follows: "In practically every well settledt part of th United States, there ft a commercial vCty approximating 100, 000 in population, which serves a ter ritory within a radius of one hundred miles. Tha piedmont region between Atlanta, Richmond and Washington is about tn only prosperous territory which Is well settled, wnleh has no such commercial city. Therefore In the respect of locality and of relations to other cities, Charlotte Is well alt uated to ba developed to be one of the commercial centres. The factor Which moat determines the growth of one lty above others In a neighbor hood Is to maka lt one of the most attractive to Uv" In. Strangers come to Charlotte to Jlv. not because there Is electlrc power available, here, but because It 1 a better city to live In, In respecto a larger and more liberal social conditions and In respect to the convenience which a modern city fur nishes. The electlrc power In equally available all along the line of lta dis tribution between here and the Ca tawba river, and in the smaller towns, so that If that alon were the factor, people might llv In fne country any where along fne line, but they don't. GREATER CHARLOTTE SHOULD BE WELL ARCHITECTED. "In considering the extension of the city limits, it should be kept In mmlnd that a well desgned and well constructed city needs to be archi tected as well as a well designed and well constructed house does. If we would make those attractlwe city con ditions which make this the most pleasant city to Uv In in the pied mont regon, tha new-comers wll sure ly select Cnarlott 'for their home, and the population being here the electric power will purely come. In order to make snch a city. It is Im portant to take In enough territory to lay out now a city to accommodate at least 100,000 people. "I would favor the extension of the city limits to be the same as tne township limits are' Bow. This being done, I would favor the employment of a corps of engineers and of a land scape architect to lay out the entire area for the development of a well shaped city built In away to make It tne most desirable to live In. These engineers should locate street, deter mine all grades, nake locations for sewerage and water pipes, so that for along time in tha future, every cent expended for city Improvement would be In accordance with a pre-determtn-ed plan. It may be Observed that In most of the very successful cities, this as been done. New York grew for a while haphazard,, but lta growth was finally subjected to plan In which the streets were numbered one way and the avenues another. Also an Immense park waa left which waa de- Signed - ultimately to be ' In the city, and Which Is now verily In the cen-' tre of the city. We all know how Mr. George Washington laid-out a Feder al city on tha hanks of the 'Potomac. Much of the irea which hs platted Into city lots remained farm lands, a; rarm land prices ror loo years and yet to-day the beauty of the de- Sign and the magnificence of Its ultl- mate working out. Is beginning to reveal Itself to an admiring nation. In all of those cities which negan to trow hap'hasard, and which tmve been uccesful, we can percelv? a line where the hapnagard system was abandoned and the comprehensive en gineering layout was begun. "If we should take In . the town ship to be the city we ought to make provision at once to get park areas snd above all things to get soma one fata park bfg enough to have golf links and to furnish place for recre ation and amusement for the entire population of the city. There might be golf links under the control of a club for pay and another set of aolf links free for the use of tn public.

"It has been said that It would ba a great Imposition upon the farmer to take hi land Inside th city limit and make him pay city taxes. Expe rience at ths North and . Nortnwsat does not Justify any such apprehen sion. - A farm Of 50 acre 1 1-2 miles from Charlotte might possibly now sell at th. rat of 1200 an aore. If such land - was taken inside tn city limit and the city engineering corp should plat this with the other lands as a part of the city. It would be sale able by th lot Instead of by the acre, and I think there are none who woulu doubt fnat lot could be aoid for In vestment purposes and mads deliv erable flv or ten years hence at as much as 2100 a lot, which would be the qulvalentot 2500 an acre, accord ing to tha layout It surely could not ba any Injury to a man to pay a little tax. and on present valuation It would be very little, and. have his land mau worth flv to eight times a muoh per acre. Whll the property was unset tled as city lots, ' It could b used aa farm land as now. Heretofore, the only way In which suburban property haa been available - to ba divided up Into city lota ha been for a company to buy up one or more farms and at their own cost lay out atreets, pro vide sewerage, water and lights. In this situation the owner of the farm lands can ret no benefits except aa farm landa. The development com pany geta the City values. In the new situation, the owner of the farm land would get the benefit of city val ues. "Of course It would not be necessary to undertake to grade streets, lay sewers, or make city tmprovemes In those parts of the city not yet devel oped. But th extensions of the systems of publlo conveniences coul? go along parallel with th settlement. ECONOMY IN MANAGEMENT. "The management of the larger city could be more economically accom plished than th present city. For on thing, the new city could afford to bring an ample supply of water from the Catawba river and furlnsh all the wants of the city In respect to water. At present I should think there must be at least 60 water-worka In the city of Charlotte. The Southern railway now furnishes Its own water supply or haa a water workh plant of lta on. The Southern Cotton OH Company has a water-works plant of Its own. The city has fnree and Is operating two water worka plants. Tne Atberton mills furnishes Its own wster supply. Prac tlcally all the mills furnish their owr water supply. If one comprehensive plant could be built to bring water from fne river and abundant supply could be had at a cheaper price for everybody and at vastly less Invest ment than all the exiatlng plants stand. "If these various thtngs could sll be done, it would give those condi tions that would make Charlotte the central point for the new settlers, and the territory taken In would soon be covered over with tha developments of a modern city." The Auditorium Coming. The auditorium committee of th Greater Charlotte Club Is working earnestly on the movement for the auditorium, and Is meeting with much encouragement. Tne plans and spec ifications sre all ready and those at the head of the movement say that no trouble will be experienced In se curing the money necessary to erect the building. There Is a great de mand for the auditorium and also m armory that wilt b Included In the same building, and there Is s strong sentiment In favor of It erection. Funeral of Mr. J. H. Robinson.
