Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Planning Problems of Town, City, and Region: Papers and Discussions at the Nineteenth National Conference on City Planning, Held at Washington, D. C., May 9 to 11, 1927
I am sorry the pressure of public business prevented my accept ing the kind invitation to address the National Conference on City Planning. So I must have recourse to this note for a word of wel come and good wishes. Meeting here again after nineteen years, I hope your Conference will appreciate the progress made towards assuring for Washing ton the benefits of all developments in the art of city planning. The work done and planned is aimed to make our National Capital a city of which all our citizens may be proud and a suitable expres sion of our ideals and achievements. I have been especially interested in the application of far sighted and comprehensive planning to the administration of the Nation's business. Your efforts to secure the application of this principle to the development of our rapidly growing towns and cities are deserving of the utmost success. I am sure your de liberations will bring about an exchange of ideas and of experience which will be of mutual benefit. And I hope you will carry away a definite interest in the City of Washington and an enthusiastic determination to aid in the accomplishment of whatever may be necessary to make it worthy of our country.
