educational campaign of the News, conclusions were drawn
as to the type of plan Dealey desired for Dallas.
A description of Kessler's proposed plan is the subject
of the second chapter. Kessler's philosophy, his plan, and
the need for it are included. A comparison of Kessler's
and Dealey's ideas concludes the chapter.
The parts of the plan developed and a discussion of
the unimplemented parts are the subjects of the third chapter.
Kessler's ideas on city life and his plan for Dallas as
related to his philosophy, are discussed. Because Dealey
did not understand Kessler's ideas and did not openly support
implementation of the entire plan, problems arose. Kessler's
idea of a boulevard system was not completely implemented.
However, both functional and beautification changes were
accomplished. For example, the number of parks increased
from one at the turn of the century to approximately forty
by 1924, and the Texas and Pacific tracks were removed from
Pacific Avenue.
