Retaining The Charm Of Rhode Island, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The town of Exeter in Washington County is an unusual place--it is classified as one of the few remaining rural communities in the state. With 86 percent of Rhode Island considered urban by the Census Bureau, rural designation is something special in this second most densely settled state in the union."

A Note To Candidates: Look At Housing, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The 1980s will be remembered as the time of the federal government's decimation of housing policies and programs that previous administrations had sought so diligently to design and implement. Candidates for federal and state offices need to be aware of current housing problems and possible measures that will improve housing in the state. The following are major concerns and suggested action proposals to help alleviate the housing plight of state residents.
Head Counting That Counts, Chester Smolski
Head Counting That Counts, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Next April, the Census Bureau will take on the principal task for which it was created: To count each member of this nation. No small chore, considering that the number will approach one-quarter billion persons. The 21st decennial undertaking will be watched closely because the numbers will help determine where new markets might be sited, where federal dollars may flow, and a host of other conclusions that may be drawn by ascertaining the numbers and locations of people. But the results will be most closely scrutinized by politicians at all levels of government."
What The Neighbors Will Say: A Quick Guide For Developers, Chester Smolski
What The Neighbors Will Say: A Quick Guide For Developers, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They turn out at the public meetings in large numbers, are well organized, frequently have a list of names from the neighborhood and often come with their own legal counsel. They can turn a seasoned lawyer into a quivering and stumbling idiot, cause expert witnesses to lose their confidence and invariably add to the developer's cost, both in time and money.
They are the public opinion."
The Cities And Towns Look Ahead, Chester Smolski
The Cities And Towns Look Ahead, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"What do you want your community to be? Over the next two and one-half years all communities in the state will be required to address this question, and to come up with a formal statement of what these goals and objectives are to be. And it's about time."
How To Keep Teachers In R.I., Chester Smolski
How To Keep Teachers In R.I., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Should Providence city employees be forced to live in the city? The Home Rule Charter, adopted five years ago, requires them to do so. The executive secretary of the Providence Teachers' Union states that this requirement should not apply to teachers. But, is dropping the residency requirement the answer to the problem of finding adequate numbers of substitute and full-time teachers?"
Cluster Battle Is Over, But The War Rages On, Chester Smolski
Cluster Battle Is Over, But The War Rages On, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The Chinese have a saying: 'Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think.' For Americans, the same could be said for zoning in the seemingly never-ending war between residents and developers over land development."

Potential Of A Failing Neighborhood, Chester Smolskirevitalize Olneyville Plan By State Colleges.
Smolski Texts
"Developing neighborhood pride is one of the keys to a healthy neighborhood and a healthy city. In a city that is losing population and jobs, that is faced with increasing numbers of abandoned houses and vacant lots, that has the highest equalized tax rate (tax rate and assessment rate combined) in the state, and that has unique needs because of the large numbers of elderly, minority and poor residents, maintaining strong neighborhoods is a difficult task. Yet, though the task may be difficult, there is hope and there is potential for declining neighborhoods to revitalize themselves. This was the message …
Beating The Drum For Tourists: Hartford Leads By A Mile, Chester Smolski
Beating The Drum For Tourists: Hartford Leads By A Mile, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts

The Case For Residency Requirements, Chester Smolski
The Case For Residency Requirements, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
