Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New Departure All the stockholders or members of the colony will be joint partners in a great business enterprise, which will embrace the various departments of all human industry, viz., agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and, no doubt, mining also, as the region abounds in unworked mines of the precious metals. Everyone will have an interest in everything that goes on, for the colony will be established on the principle of co-operative association, and its motto and guiding rule will be: "Collective ownership and management of public utilities and conveniences; the community responsible for the health, usefulness, individuality, and security of each." It is the establishment of a rural city, the combining of the country with the town, a city permeated and pervaded throughout by the country, through its containing many parks; its streets very wide and shaded by avenues of trees and broad strips of grass and flowers along the sidewalks, the whole surrounded by the city´s own extensive and diversified farm lands, the common property of all the citizens, and the whole colony, every member of it will be supplied in the most complete and thorough manner with everything needed for human comfort, through arrangements which have all been most carefully thought out, both in general and in detail, beforehand - a thing which has never yet been done in the annals of city founding in such an all-embracing manner. So that all that is now required is for those who have the matter in charge, to dispose of the number of shares of stock at ten dollars per share, that will furnish the funds required to purchase the property, give the shareholders possession and allow them to go to work at once. We all know how a settlement, a town, is started in the ordinary way. We know that they grow up piecemeal, and more or less at haphazard, and without, in most cases, any general or comprehensive plan. Or if there is some general plan in laying out streets and lots, every detail as to buildings and a hundred other things that concern the common welfare and comfort are left to the caprice and whims of the lot-holders. Whatever may be the attraction that draws persons to a new locality, and to build a town, the first thing done by the owner or owners of the land is to lay it out in lots of varying sizes, then to dispose of them to purchasers, of whom some purchase to build upon, others to hold for speculation; and should a rush be made, from some real or fancied prospect of acquiring wealth by a residence there, the lots are cut up and sold at exorbitant prices. They may pass into the hands of a wealthy individual or corporation and be sold again to individuals. Of these, each buys his large or small lot, and puts up a building to suit his own purpose, regardless of his neighbors, and the result is that a town springs up that is simply the embodiment of an intense individualism.
