I there is no statutory or other definition of an alley. We recognize as an alley a thoroughfare laid out in the interior of one of our squares when the city was first laid out. In the interior of the squares at that time there were laid out certain thoroughfares, apparently designed for what might be termed service alleys, for affording convenient access to property, for the removal of refuse, for sewer and water connections, and matters of that sort. Those were known as alleys at that time, they are known as alleys now, and their designation can be changed only by an act of Congress. The Chairman. May I ask that if in the alleys you speak of the property belongs to any extent to the people in front on the streets? You say they were put there for service purposes. They were to serve the owners of the houses in front, I understand? Dr. Woodward. Yes, sir. The Chairman. Are these alley houses the property of the owners of the houses in front to any extent? Dr. Woodward. Not to any considerable extent at the present, time. The Chairman. It has changed then? Dr. Woodward. It has changed very materially. An objection lias been made to alleys on the score of their narrowness. That Is of course a very important objection, but the general plan of the alleys seems to me to constitute an objection even more serious than their narrowness; that is that they do not open directly on a public thoroughfare, after the entrance runs in a certain distance at right angles to the street, there will be a cross alley with no direct street entrance, and the houses built on the cross alley are entirely obscured from the view of the street. They are entirely cut off from passers-by except as they may come into the alley for business purposes or for purposes of...

Download or read book Racism in the Nation s Service written by Eric S. Yellin and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the 1880s and 1910s, thousands of African Americans passed civil service exams and became employed in the executive offices of the federal government. However, by 1920, promotions to well-paying federal jobs had nearly vanished for black workers. Eric S. Yellin argues that the Wilson administration's successful 1913 drive to segregate the federal government was a pivotal episode in the age of progressive politics. Yellin investigates how the enactment of this policy, based on Progressives' demands for whiteness in government, imposed a color line on American opportunity and implicated Washington in the economic limitation of African Americans for decades to come. Using vivid accounts of the struggles and protests of African American government employees, Yellin reveals the racism at the heart of the era's reform politics. He illuminates the nineteenth-century world of black professional labor and social mobility in Washington, D.C., and uncovers the Wilson administration's progressive justifications for unraveling that world. From the hopeful days following emancipation to the white-supremacist "normalcy" of the 1920s, Yellin traces the competing political ideas, politicians, and ordinary government workers who created "federal segregation."

Download or read book Classic Readings in Urban Planning written by Jay Stein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of "the best anthology in planning" includes 33 selections by many of the profession's most respected thinkers and eloquent writers. Returning editor Jay M. Stein chose the articles, about half of them new to this edition, based on suggestions from colleagues and students who used the first edition, recommendations from planning scholars, awards for writing in the field of planning, and his own review of recent planning literature. Classic Readings in Urban Planning offers an unparalleled depth of coverage and range of perspectives on traditional aspects of planning as well as on important contemporary issues. This is an exceptional main or supplementary textbook for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level students in urban and regional planning. As a general overview of the field of urban planning, it is also an excellent choice for planning commissioners, practicing planners, and professionals in related fields such as environmental and land use law, architecture, and government. An abstract introduces each reading, and each section includes suggestions for additional readings suitable for more extensive study. Many of these are also "classics" that could not be included as a main selection.
