Plans for Seattle's future city improvements
City Engineer K M H Thomason spoke to the Real Estate association at the Chamber of Commerce outlining plans to expand the sewer and water system and extend arteries from the business district to suburban workers. He advocated building height limits tied to street width, cautioned against unsanitary narrow streets, and cited Cologne as a model for wide streets and extensive parking. He noted Cedar River water supply could serve a city of 650000 with planned extensions, at 100 gallons per capita daily.
