Banks And Older Cities, Chester Smolski
Banks And Older Cities, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They wear dark ties and suits, light-colored shirts, dark shoes and have their hair cut short. They work in the community, anything from United Way to Boy Scouts, and maintain a low profile. The image portrayed is one of stability and trust, and this is precisely what the public expects from its bankers--the keepers of our money."

Providence Is "The Dirtiest City Of Them All", Chester Smolski
Providence Is "The Dirtiest City Of Them All", Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Six months after having returned from a trip to study cities in the southeastern part of the country, I ask myself how Providence compares with the approximately 20 cities I visited. There is no question in my mind that Providence is the dirtiest of them all."
Downtown Malls: A Means To An End, Chester Smolski
Downtown Malls: A Means To An End, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has been a trying year for downtown Providence merchants. Roads that too long have been neglected are being repaired and a Westminster Mall is in the process of getting a new facelift. Dirt, dust, noise, hazardous walking and a general inconvenience have deterred potential shoppers from using downtown shops, and this is reflected in reduced sales."
Despite The Heartaches, Urban Renewal Deserves High Marks, Chester Smolski
Despite The Heartaches, Urban Renewal Deserves High Marks, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The term "urban renewal" draws a mixed reaction. For some, it has meant relocated families, destroyed neighborhoods and heartache, even years after the fact. For others it has meant new construction, new jobs, increased taxes, reconstructed neighborhoods and visible signs of process."
Is This What We Want For Our Small Urban State?, Chester Smolski
Is This What We Want For Our Small Urban State?, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The big advantage of a small state is that it is comprehensible, and some might say managable. Certainly, it is easier to work with the 39 cities and towns of this state rather than the 351 cities and towns of nearby Massachusetts. And yet one wonders if this is really true."
Mayoral Candidates And Downtown, Chester Smolski
Mayoral Candidates And Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The next mayor of the city of Providence will have some hard decisions to make on the future of this city. There will be economic opportunities and constraints, social problems, political decisions and a host of questions to be raised and subsquently answered over the next four years which will shape the direction in which Rhode Island's capital city will move--and it is starting to move.
'Down City' Has Gone Downhill, Chester Smolski
'Down City' Has Gone Downhill, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"There is essentially only one downtown in this city-state of Rhode Island, and it is accessible to the entire state in less than one hour's driving time. Yet over the past 10 years the Providence downtown has been in a steady decline, with a limited selection and lowered quality of goods offered from fewer shops. The familiar names of a few years ago, such as Shepards, Gladdings, City Hall Hardware and others, no longer serve as retail focal points in the captial city's central business district (CBD)."
The Paradox Of Providence, Chester Smolski
The Paradox Of Providence, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Providence is a city of poor people, yet Providence is a rich city. This apparent paradox requires some explanation."
Organizing The Poor, Charles S. Stevens
Organizing The Poor, Charles S. Stevens
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
One area of interest in poverty in Urban America has focused attention on the urban poor and their participation. A major consideration about the problem has been the view that poverty is a pervasive condition and that it can be a determinint of behavior. The notion of a "culture of poverty" and a "welfare syndrome" was an expression of this viewpoint indicating poverty is a way of life. A second viewpoint suggests the urban poor are victims of urban society and are therefore restricted from meaningful participation.2 This viewpoint is in contrast to a "culture of poverty", but it does …
The Politics Of Aging And Rural Social Services: An Exploratory Analysis, Roger A. Lohmann
The Politics Of Aging And Rural Social Services: An Exploratory Analysis, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
The advent of federal funding for rural social services during the late 1960s and 1970s brought about changes in the political organization of rural America. A host of new organizational actors, like Area Agencies on Aging and various local aging agencies were created in rural communities across the country, in the wake of Baker v. Carr with its “one man/one vote” principle and funding through programs like the Economic Opportunity Act and the Older Americans Act. This article details a leadership succession model suggesting that local leadership of aging interests went through at least four distinct phases during this time: …
Providence Needs Downtown Development District, Chester Smolski
Providence Needs Downtown Development District, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"In case you have not noticed, there is a considerable amount of activity taking place in downtown Providence these days."
Those Inner City "Magnets" Are A Big Draw, Chester Smolski
Those Inner City "Magnets" Are A Big Draw, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"His firm was the first to build the enclosed shopping malls that we find scattered throughout the suburbs today. It brought symphony orchestras and art museums into these malls. It was the first to provide extensive landscaping to these regional shopping centers, and which the company strives to make into community centers as well as centers of retail activity. And the most successful new town in this country, built completely with private funds, is the work of this company."
Baltimore: A City On The Move, Chester Smolski
Baltimore: A City On The Move, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"On the way to Washington D.C. one drives through a part of America's seventh largest city and, based upon the popular image of this city, there is no reason to stop in Baltimore. But if one does stop, he would be surprised and impressed by the dynamism of a city on the move."
City Need Is Jobs For Young, Chester Smolski
City Need Is Jobs For Young, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 was a landmark piece of legislation which continues to benefit communities in need. Over the past three years Providence has received close to $27 million which has been spent to improve housing, parks and historic buildings in addition to building and servicing community centers. The focus of this major legislation was on physical and social improvement of the community. The one unprovided area was economic development."
Better Year Ahead For Ri Builders, Chester Smolski
Better Year Ahead For Ri Builders, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Building permit figures recently released by the Rhode Island Builders Association indicate that housing construction in the first quarter of 1978 is well ahead of the comparable period for 1977. The signs are encouraging that this year will be better than the last and that the recovery continues from 1975, the poorest year for the housing industry in the 1970s."
Land Use--The Senate Buckled Under The Test, Chester Smolski
Land Use--The Senate Buckled Under The Test, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They killed it on May 4, 1978. Quietly, behind closed doors and and out of the public eye, this small, powerful group decided that the Senate of the Rhode Island General Assembly would not pass Bill 77-H 6299 (Substitute "A"), An Act Establishing a State-Local Management Program."
The Development Of A Grassroots Citizen Action Organization, Mary Runge
The Development Of A Grassroots Citizen Action Organization, Mary Runge
Dissertations and Theses
The primary purpose of this study is to develop a model community organizing plan for persons wishing to establish a grassroots citizen action organization. Existential in nature, this model will be geared toward easy and practical application, i.e. a "cookbook" approach to the process of organizing a citizen action organization. A secondary purpose of this study is to provide students and beginning community organizers with a basic theoretical and historical orientation by which to understand the field of community organization.
Land Management Bill Must Not Be Dismissed, Chester Smolski
Land Management Bill Must Not Be Dismissed, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"After 10 years of study, three years of public meetings and discussion, three years of writing and revision, and now for the third consecutive year, the carefully conceived, greatly altered, and highly-detailed 136-page bill to manage the land of Rhode Island is before the General Assembly for possible enactment."
Downtown St. Pete, Where The Pace Slows To A Shuffle, Chester Smolski
Downtown St. Pete, Where The Pace Slows To A Shuffle, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"This is an unusual city: all of the curbside parking in the downtown is free; they give away the evening paper if the sun doesn't shine; the National Shuffleboard Hall of Fame is located here; and more than one-half of the population is over 44 years of age."
How Cubans Reshaped Downtown Miami, Chester Smolski
How Cubans Reshaped Downtown Miami, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It was just this past week that the last flight of refugees likely to come out of Castro's Cuba arrived at Miami International Airport. The hightly emotional reunion of familites that had been seperated for years was a reminder of the freedom which we enjoy in this country and for which many others are still waiting to come here to also enjoy."
Jacksonville's Commitment To Downtown, Chester Smolski
Jacksonville's Commitment To Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The largest city in the Sunshine State is quite different from the cities we know in the Northeast, especially in its downtown."
Superlative Atlanta, Chester Smolski
Superlative Atlanta, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"With the passing of each year a new superlative is added: the third largest convention city; the third city in the post-war period to construct a rapid transit system; the second busiest airport in the world; the safest mass transportation system in the country; and with direct flights to London in the offing, this major commercial, industrial and financial center of the Southeast can truly claim to be a New International City. Atlanta is all of these."
New Spirit In Old Savannah - A City With Plans, Chester Smolski
New Spirit In Old Savannah - A City With Plans, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"A large downtown is normally characterized by tall buildings because demand in this most accessible location is strong, with intensive use of the land being the result. Approaching a city, as one looks off in the distance at the cityscape, one is able to quickly locate the central business district as, for example, one drives south on Route 146 toward Providence. Such is not the case in this serene and lovely, port city of Georgia."
Atlanta, Where The Eager Citizens Join In, Chester Smolski
Atlanta, Where The Eager Citizens Join In, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Atlanta calls itself the "New International City," and, without doubt, this magnet urban center of the South is drawing attention and money, and creating jobs on a vast scale."
Soul City Deserves To Succeed, Chester Smolski
Soul City Deserves To Succeed, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream--a dream of equal opportunity and justice for all. An assassin's bullet prevented him from realizing his dream. His friend and well-known leader in the civil rights movement also had a dream--a dream to build a new town in which the injustices of society would be lessened. Today, in the rolling farmland country of North Carolina, Floyd McKissick is working to fulfill his long sought dream."
Parallel For Providence To Consider, Chester Smolski
Parallel For Providence To Consider, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They have done it here. The Grand Opera House has nearly been restored and it is now the Deleware State Performing Arts Center. A lively activity center located on the recently opened, pedestrianized Market Street Mall, the Grand is serving as a major focal point in bringing life back to downtown Wilmington."

Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project Transmission Studies Environmental Impact Statement: Appendix A, United States Department Of Energy
Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project
The U.S. Departments of the Interior and Energy have conducted system planning, location, and environmental studies for the trans-mission facilities required for the Dickey-Lincoln School Hydroelectric Project. These studies of many alternate routes have resulted in iden-tification of a proposed transmission line route, and an environmental impact statement, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. This report, documenting an early phase of the overall studies, was first published by the Department of the Interior in February 1977. It is being republished as Appendix A to the DOE Environmental Impact Statement for the project.
