. Garden cities in theory and practice; being an amplification of a paper on the potentialities of applied science in a garden city, read before Section F of the British Association . f the space of land thegoods sidings will of necessity absorb. To convey this tothe readers mind, and to endeavour to do so to what theauthor of the suggestion would call his, I have merely to men-tion—through the courtesy of the chief engineer of the GreatNorthern Railway—that at the neighbouring town of Hitchin, essentially non-manufacturing, and having a population of only10, 252, the sidings there extend southwards, from the centreof the passenger platform, a third of a mile, whilst northwardsthey run for over half a mile. The space occupied by the shuntingyard is no less than twenty-eight and a quartet- acres. Thus itwill be seen that at least fifty or sixty acres of the centre of theCity would eventually become a shunting yard; the manufac-turers even then would be most inadequately and inefficientlydealt with as regards transport, whilst the inhabitants of the bestparts of the City would be disturbed throughout the night bythe noise of the incessant shunting operations. 212 A.
