Excerpt from The Problem of City Beautification as Observed in Europe

The writer of the following article was sent abroad for the purpose of investigating for the City in whose employ he has been for more than twenty years, some of the municipal house-keeping problems that have been solved with notable success in Europe, and particularly in Germany. The observations which follow are intended to be of a general rather than technical nature, and especially concern city planning and beautification as observed abroad, and the means whereby the people of a city may secure a beautiful environment, if they follow a definite purpose and take advantage of their opportunities, anticipating the future and providing for their progress.

The trip was made in the spring and summer of a year previous to the present European war, and included the British Islands and the Continent, all the principal cities being visited. Letters of introduction taken to the various officials were scarcely necessary, as an American is welcome in all places; and a civil engineer from this country especially is treated with distinction.

The note book and camera were in constant use. More than six hundred pictures of technical value were secured, and descriptions of structures and materials, as well as plans, often supplemented by notes kindly suggested or even added by officials, who freely gave printed specifications, prints of plans, books and pictures for the purposes sought.

The trip was made in company with a civil engineer official and a well-known consulting engineer in private practice, whom we found to be as well-known abroad and as highly respected as in America.
