1 REPORT OF EXPERT
j ON CIVIC IMPROVEMENT
!
i
; Recommended at Conway, S.
C., From Observation of
[', Conditions.
)
I
| At the request of the Civic League
i of Conway to oiler some helpful sugf
gestions as to the improvement of
their town, we have prepared a report
r based on inl'ormtaion gained through
a careful observation and study of
/ the conditions as they now exist.
The purpose of this report is to
make such suggestions toward civic
improvement which will be within the
means of the present and future residents
and property owners of Conway,
and which, when executed from
time to time, will help to muke the
future city increasingly convenient
and desirable as a place in which to
live and work.
It has long since been proven that
tne surroundings in which one lives
has a marked effect upon the cheerfulness
and degree of efficiency one
niay attain in pursuing hia or her
work. For this reason, constant effort
shpuld be made toward forthering
such convenience and beauty of
surrounding by carefully considering
the quality of the appearance of
things whenever a physical change
and improvement is undertaken to
meet some practical purpose. This
consideration of increasing convenience
and beauty of Conway is one
which should not be delegated to
acme one Department of its municipal
activities. It rightly affects each
and every Department, and all persons
of the community. Continuous
and well directed cooperation among
these various units, with the governing
aid of expert advice on civic
problems, can only insure the ultimate
desired result.
The topography of Conway, with
the natural advantages of its waterways
and trees, makes it rich in nos
sibilities of being a city of beautiful
parks, streets and homes. Its valuable
industrial possibilities are also
due to its position in the heart of
available timber lands for thirty
years to come, and in a locality well
adapted to truck farming with rail
and water facilities. True, some of
these advantages have been shamefully
neglected and abused. Immediate
and definite action should be
taken toward regaining and conserving
the natural advantages from any
continued or future abuse.
The necessity for adequate drainage
facilities of both sanitary and
storm water consideration cannot be
too strongly emphasized. Definite
action toward the installation of the
former has recently been taken. The
outlet of this system should be sufficiently
below the town so that there
will be no danger of pollution of the
water which forms Kingston Lake.
No drainage outlets, of any size,
should empty into the lake, except
for the relief of storm water sewers.
The existing natural watercourses
for drainage of the area in and
around Conway should be improved
by widening or deepening, as the location
may demand, so as to avoid
the damaging of improved private
property. Such water courses, if
x i. i 1
ireaien properiy, may be made interesting
as developed park strips.
Instance of this is found in the natural
ravine and water course south of
the Burroughs Graded School, and
following this same water course
further down in the pleasing strip of
woodland south of Sawdust Road, between
the lake and tracks. A permanent
concrete culvert of increased
and adequate capacity under this
road should replace the present wooden
one. The invert of this culvert
should be lowered so as to present
the flooding of the property on the
north side of the road.
All open ditches for stieet drainage t
should be tiled and closed up. Such i
ditches are a menace to the health.I
appearance and traffic safety of any
community. Instance of this is founct
in front of the Court House Square
and along the triangle park between
ain Street, Fifth Avenue and the
tracks.
The present entrance of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway through the
main residential and business section
will not long be tolerated. The future
growth of Conway is, naturally, j
restricted to the west and north by
the low swampy areas in the opposite
directions. In view of this fact,
the re-entering of Conway by the Atlantic
Coast Line Railway should be;
carefully studied so as to prevent, in
years to come, the objection which its
present location has. The most feasible
route which presents itself, and
one which has equal advantage to the
community and railroad interests, is
to make a detour of the town and enter
from the west, to tne south of the
jail property. This would confine
future industries to that area which
is least desirable for residences and
afford good locations to new concerns
along the railroad right-of-way, with
ample trackage facilities assured. The
proposed route would improve the
connection and thru train srevice to
Myrtle Beach. The location of the
right-of-way, ought, if possible, to be
outside of the present corporate limits
of Conway to allow for residen
tial growth. Under no consideration,
should the land between Kingston
Lake and Main Street be used as;
a possible entrance of any railway.
With the present need of a new
railway station and its ultimate acquisition,
the location and style of
building should be considered in planning
for the convenience and attractiveness
of the future Conway. One's
first impression of a town is usually
formed from the appearance of the
station at which he enters, and from
which he first looks out upon the
town itself. This impression may be
pleasing or otherwise, according to
the care and thought given to the requirements
of service, convenience
and aesthetic possibility in the planning.
Under circumstances which the
nesidents of Conway must soon face,
this possibility of eventually acquiring
an attractive gateway to the city
will present itself. Why should not
the better interests of the future Conway
be planned for now? With the
new County Court House as a nucleus

present ill-used, property in the im-.
mediate vicinity for public and
quasi-public buildings, the opportunity
for Conway to start a real Civic
Center is at hand.
The streets of Conway are of the
usual gridiron form, and, insofar as
modern planning has proven, will not,
: in the future, meet the requirements
of a busy city through lack of direct
and convenient access to an parts.
Because of permanent expenditures
in buildings this may not be corrected j
in the greater portion of present j
Conway, but, in view of future j
growth, the undeveloped, outlying
areas should be replanned with a
view toward correcting existing con-1
ditions insofar as possible, and correctly
planning the streets of the new
additions and joining them to the
j town in a manner most convenient for
use and economical of construction.
Though the streets were intended
to be laid out in true rectangular
fashion, yet, in a few instances there
are some offsets and bad angles
which should be corrected before new
buildings make it impossible, or too
expensive, to consider.

Avenues, has a decided angle at Fifth
Street, which, at present, is unpleasing,
and, in the event that Beaty
Street is opened up east of Third
Avenue, will make a very dangerous
and unpleasant offset at Third Avenue.
The dangerous conditions resultant
from such an offset can be
well shown not at the intersection of
the two main streets of Florence, S.
C. Beaty Street, between Thifd and j
Fifth Avenues, should be straighten- j
ed to conform to that west of Fifth
Avenue.
Ninth Avenue, between Main and
Elm Streets, should be made of uniform
width and follow an easy curve.
This will necessitate the town's ac- j
quiring, in some way, a strip of the
property on the east side of the
The return to to the town of the
present Atlantic Coast Line Railway's

a part of a future park drive
which would connect with Sawdust

A semi-circular drivfc would-enter

sear of the building. The North
boundary should be brought in to
permit of tne suggested improvement
of Ninth Street and a crowned bank
or wail, if necessary, constructed.

of the building might well be planned

The ravine to the south of the
grounds should be treated in a naturalistic
way. With the new Atlantic
Coast Line Railway route, the present
right-of-way to the South of the
school property, could well be included
in a park like development with
that of the school grounds and advantage
taken of the natural water
course running through it.
Tile immediate improvement of the
County Court House square would be
in determining the necessary service
convenience, approach drives and
walks, and defining these on the
grounds with adequate facilities for
properly draining the areas by partial
regrading and underground drain
age system. The area is comparatively
flat, with a slight radiant to
the South and west. Here especially,
the improvement of the square
will be in proper arrangement of
trees and shrubs, after the necessary
grading is completed, to relieve the
present bald condition. The plans
for the developing of this site
should be carefully worked out in conjunction
and harmony with the future
development of the new station approach
and civic center.
The Town Hall and site should be
preserved in its original conception
as an interesting bit of quaint architecture
and for its association. Freeing
the premises of unsightly objects
and ill-uses, with proper plantings to
screen out the immediate surroundings
and add interest to the ground,
is all that need be done to make that
corner more attractive.
Lakeside Cemetery, like the town
itself, was laid out before improved
ideas of town and Cemetery planning
came into use, and for this reason the
maximum convenience and possible
aesthetic values are not at present
enjoyed.
To improve on these conditions, a
restudy and planning of the newer
unused portion should be had, so as
to secure convenient access to all
parts, and the best of aesthetic arrangement.
The wooded slope to
the south should be included in the replanning,
as it offers excellent opportuities
for a pleasing park-like development
with an interest from off the
proposed park drive.
Conway is unusually fortunate in
V\ * # 1 """
Having oucn ix wcann 01 trees, lrees,
which were once more beautiful but
through years of neglect have deteriated
to the extent that unless immediate
action is taken to check the injuries
now going on, will soon be
gone. Many of the large stately
oaks have only a shell trunk, with
ugly, dead and decayed limbs waiting
to be pruned by a heavy storm. This
is, also, true of some of the more
plannings. The best course now is
to repair the existing damage and
prevent further injury. Men skille<
in tree surgery can prolong the Hfr
of some of the older trees, the rest
need pruning at once to prevent similar
destruction. The Davey Tree
Expert Company of Kent, Ohio, might
be consulted for this work.
To replace old and decrepit trees
and in planting young trees, in newly
opened additions, a systematic pro- ,
gram must be followed at some little
cost to insure a permanent and do
sirable effect. Most trees requir<

they really become handsome and it;

and tho roiilili?wli>r of ?vistnn.<o
will live and become of increasing
beauty for seventy five or one hundred
years. Hardy varieties suited to
the soil conditions and locality,
should be planted. To attain the
greatest beauties for Conway s existing
street arrangement, one variety
of tree should be used on a given
street. Having the street and side
walk lines divided, the new plantings
should be placed midway between
these lines and at least thirty-five
feet apart. If planted closer for immediate
effect, they should later be
thinned out when becoming crowded
and the remaining ones allowed to
mature. Unless the replanting and
constant care is done in a systematic
way by some municipal department
with absolute control, the possible
effort and results of individuals will
be varied, and to some extent, dissipated.
Varieties to be safely used
foi street planting are: Water Oak
Live Oak, Willow Oak, ELm, Sycamore,
and Ginkgo. The indiscriminate
practice of telephone and electric
light companies to top t.fies, and
other wise butcher them, must be stop
ped if beautiful street trees are to be
had. By requiring companies using
wires to place them in conduits under
the ground, this danger is forever
eliminated. Should this course
not seem warranted, they ought to be
placed on poles through the middle
of the blocks.
The improvement of Conway along
any suggested lines, will, naturally,
evtend over a period of several years
and the expense incurred from time
to time will not be burdensome to any
one. The idea for the residents of
Conway is to plan and improve for
the present and future.
To execute the unit of the proposed
development and feel that the fina'
results will be correct and the expenditures
of time and money well di
rected, complete plans and specifications
must necessarily be had. Or
definite information of units or areas
t) be so considered for development
the approximate cost of preparing
such plans can be given.
The plans proposed would be made
from a topographical survey of the
area to be considered. A preliminary
plan would first be submitted to
show the proposed arrangement of j
physical features, service convenience
and plantings. Criticisms
on this plan are to be had so that any
changes or incorporating of new features
can be made on the succyflin; ,
and final grading and planting plans |
We trust that through these sug |
gestions the Civic League of Conway
may be able to arouse sufficient interest
toward the betterment an<
general welfare of Conway to mak'
an immediate start for the present
and future.
We wish to express our pleasure j
and interest gained through the short i
visit in Conway and hope that ttv :
opportunities for a better and greatei
city may be realized.

on their woodlots. In mountainous
regions near thickly populated manufacturing
centers the woodlot may be
valued for its wood-producing capacity
alone. The temptation io, to
forget or underestimate these functions
which are not obviously and
immediately beneficial. As a matter
of fact, the less obvious functions are
often the very ones which are likely
to prove of the greatest value in the
long run. For example, many of the
Minnesota farmers who totally cleared
their lands would be glad to have
their woodlots back again for protective
and other purposes; and farm
ers in the Central States already regret
the abuse which has robbed their
woodlots of the capacity to yield
wood crop of increasing value on the
poorer soils of the farm. It is,
therefore, greatly to the interest of
.11 ^
an iarmers to consider not only th^
present but the possible future usefulness
of a farm woodlot.
