Winnipeg, which forty years ago hadâ€"a popula tion of 250, has builded more â€" wisely, but even it has made mistakes. He spoke in terms of. the most seâ€" vere condemnation: of ‘‘the damnable method of warehousing humanity in apartment ‘houses of all grades," and said that some day posterity would curse the day when they: were â€" perâ€" mitted. He traced ‘the causes leading. to the formation ol large communities outside of a city, and which later, when taken into the city, made a misâ€" fit in town extension. Many estates are divided in this way into building lots, with aâ€"view to . producing _ the greatest financial ~returns, . irrespecâ€" tive of the health, the economic, the social or commercial imterests ol the people. ‘The city is helpless and canâ€" not do anything to prevent buildings covering these properties, or to : inâ€" sist that provision should be â€" made for the future by requiring thatâ€" adeâ€" quate provision be made for open spaces, school sites, main roadsâ€" or other public needs..
