A Capital Improvements Programia described as 'being nac-
eOBary to anticipate needB for public improvements and t~ provide
a esnaible plan for meeting these noeds. It mast be a co-operative
effort with evary oper3.ting dopartmnant of the city under~.tanding
and supporting it. It is tho key to long range finanoial otability.
Priority of projeots should be baoed on a study of tho master plan
and only est. up after a detailed annlyeia of the opinions of the
varioUfJ city departments au to their needs.
School Boards are discussed in aome detail, as they often
~ prove to be non-eo-operative with city planning ideas. No
,master plan can fUnction properly unless Bohool locatione are
, Hj~~i-~t~d.- to the gonera.l communi t..y Boheme. Zoning should have a
., . . ,~ '. ',. ~
great influonce on locatione of schools whiCh in turn have a stabil-

-elopmantand to maintain surrounding property'valU08. The plnnni~g
board I B 'o'tudien of' future growth, land use, traffic and the commun..
'ityte economy should be of grent value to tho Bchool board. Schools
should teach the elementa of city planning so that fUturo citi~one
may know better what planning moans.
