The Tribune’s report on the study, above, featured a sketched map of the city and environs, neither cardinally correct nor to scale, imagining a new system of highways that might have made Robert Moses gape.

The study would comprise a series of surveys about aspects of NYC life, starting with a “social survey.”

It has already been decided that the social survey is to cover two fields. First, questions relating to public health and sanitation; and, second, questions relating to play, recreation and the use of leisure time: second, housing problems will be taken up, but whether by the social survey or in the economic survey has not been determined.
