Herculean Task Ahead For R.I. Land-Study Panel, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has an impressive title--Commission to Study the Entire Area of Land Use, Preservation, Development and Regulation. Selection of the 23 committee members was made by top governing and legislative officials--governor, lieutenant governor, State majority leader and House speaker. It has a budget of $50,000 and is supposed to submit recommendations to the General Assembly by Feb. 25--a virtual impossibility."

Smolski Texts

"The word uppermost in the minds of many communities these days is 'development,' a process that manifests itself on the land in the form of the built environment.

Invisible Industry, Visible Rewards, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The week of May 17 to May 23 appeared to be an ordinary one, but it was singled out at the national level as National Tourism Week and, in the state, as Rhode Island Tourism Week, in case you did not know, and it was recognized by both the governor and by the mayor of Providence at recent luncheons. Well, ho-hum, another of the many proclamations and paper awards that so often come out of these offices that few give them much attention. But this one should cause Rhode Islanders to sit up and take notice."

Smolski Texts
"For the first time in 15 years, Providence has good news for those seeking teaching positions. There will be about 70 new openings in the next year as a result of about 50 impending retirements this year and an expected increase in enrollments of more than 500 next year. The short-term impact of the new teaching positions will be to bring young teachers into the schools and, in the long term, effect a major impact in the community."

And early returns from this group of children, most of who are poor ad minorities, is that they are still attending school and looking to the future."
Urging Private Sector To Work For Public Good, Chester Smolski
Urging Private Sector To Work For Public Good, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"There are few people who would be unhappy if they owned a capital asset that appreciated by 31.7 percent in one year's time. That is what happened to housing in the PRovidence area in the July-to-September period this year, as compared with the same period last year.
