Providence Home Rule, Chester Smolski
Providence Home Rule, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The opposition bumper stickers have already appeared. In bright fluorescent colors to catch the unsuspecting eye, the message is loud and clear--'Reject Home Rule Charter.' Why should there be this opposition, and who are the people against this progressive move toward better local government?"

Suburban Sprawl Is A Tremendous Energy Waster, Chester Smolski
Suburban Sprawl Is A Tremendous Energy Waster, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Urban sprawl has been likened to a formless web of urban development that looks like Swiss cheese with more holes than cheese, and Gertrude Stein, in her inimitable style, once described one of these spread cities as 'There's no there there.'"

Cleaning Downtown Can Lead To Improved Services, Chester Smolski
Cleaning Downtown Can Lead To Improved Services, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The newly formed Downtown Providence Improvement Association has a simple goal--to clean the center of the capital city. The DPIA is taking on a commendable and necessary task, one which is long overdue, in what is likely one of the dirtiest and scruffiest downtowns in this part of the country.
Fresh Ideas Essential For Redesigning Downtown, Chester Smolski
Fresh Ideas Essential For Redesigning Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Whether downtown Providence has style, grace, elegance and good taste or whether it is seedy, sleazy, schlock and second rate, there can be no question that the quality of the built enviornment should be a major consideration in all center city development. If the downtown is to prosper, than it must be made asthetically pleasing, inviting and comfortable, but who should be making these decisions on design?
Saving The Abandoned House, Chester Smolski
Saving The Abandoned House, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It had been standing vacant in Olneyville for about three weeks, after the last tenant had moved out. Then one day a half-dozen young people came and ripped, smashed and generally tore it apart--the windows, doors and even the aluminum siding. Although the police were called, the vandals got away, and another house became a victim to city living."
Stevenage--Pace Setter Among "New Towns", Chester Smolski
Stevenage--Pace Setter Among "New Towns", Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The British successful "great social experiment," going on for the past generation, is now coming to an end. This culmination is to be seen here in England's first, post-war new town, located 30 miles north of London in the rolling countryside of Hertfordshire, where the Stevenage Development Corporation has formally closed shop. For all pratical purposes, the construction of this urban center has ended."

Key Factor To A Better City, Chester Smolski
Key Factor To A Better City, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The Providence Charter Commission is now moving into the homestretch. After a full nine-month period in which more than 60 meetings were held, culminating in three public hearings in late June, the nine-member commission has gone back to the drawing board to review ideas, revise where deemed appropriate, and have a completed document ready in September. Voter acceptance in November, with General Assembly validation of certain provisions in 1981, will allow home rule for the state's capital city to become fully operational in January of 1983.

Union Traditions And Economic Policy In Ri, Chester Smolski
Union Traditions And Economic Policy In Ri, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When compared with the rest of the nation, Rhode Island stands out as a highly unionized state. A recent study released by the Department of Labor shows that 108,000 of the 398,000 employed in the state in 1978 were union members. Membership in associations such as the National Education Association and others adds a further 11,000 persons to the list. This total of 119,000 union and association members represents 29.9 percent of total employment on non-agricultural payrolls, ranking Rhode Island 13th in the nation and highest in New England which, as a region, averages 26.6 percent, and the same figure, …
