The Practical Application of Town Planning Powers. (P. S. King

and Sin, is. net.)—Mr. Ewart Culpin has done well to edit the Report of the National Town Planning Conference arranged by the Garden Cities and Town Planning Association last December. The points made by the various writers and speakers are well brought out in a series of papers, and we get fresh and original light on questions of town planning frcm the point of view of the architect, the workman, the doctor, the surveyor, and so on.

We notice in this connexion that Mr. J. S. Nettlefold's interesting and valuable book on Practical Housing has been republished in "popular edition" (T. Fisher Unwin, 1s. and 2s.. net). A new chapter explains the Housing and Town Planning Act of 1909.
