To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The typical park of this character consists of a square bounded by rectangular streets. Front- ing upon this lot may be either business houses or residences, or both. These spaces which are almost universally called parks should be given the less ambitious and more accurate name of squares. Discussion During the development of the checker-board towns and cities of the middle west single or double squares were rather frequently set aside as parks. It was sometimes expected that these spaces shou...ld be occupied by public buildings. In other instances it was the obvious intention that they should be planted with trees and maintained for the adornment of the city. Although the purposes to which such land might be put were undoubtedly vague in the minds of the creators, the reservation of such open spaces was exceedingly fortunate. No city could be found where such reservations are now considered too many or too large. On the other hand a great many towns could be found, and more especially larger cities, where more frequent breaks of this sort are now known to be highly desirable.
