Natiot Boundaries: Ma benefits, and perhaps many costs, are intangib While it is a good policy to have regard first 1 the relation of tangible benefits and costs, it is importance to recognize and develop a techniq for discovering and appraising intangible bene) and costs, and to give them proper consideratic
Some of the American rivers form natiot boundaries or cross them, as in the case of t Rio Grande (United States-Mexico), and t! Kootenai and Columbia (United States-Canada and the government must enter into internation agreements as to how best to control and develi these rivers for the good of the most people < both sides of the border.
WITH GARDENS a sense of enclosure is important. On small lots the boundaries may be those of the property or even plantings or other pleasant features on a neighbor's property, for when I speak of boundaries I mean not those of the lot but those that limit the view. On larger grounds the boundaries to views may be well within the property lines.
Boundaries are of many kinds. Never install one that gives any suggestion of being a spite fence. Many American communities are characterized by a complete absence of fences, walls or hedges around front yards; and grounds of all houses on the street merge into one delightful park-like picture of lawns, trees and shrubbery. If you live in such a community think well before you introduce what is likely to be an incongruous note by sharply defining lot boundaries seen from the street. The mere suggestion of definition by the skill-ful use of a flowering tree, shade tree, evergreen or clumps of shrubs is the most be done and ev.en then great restraint is needed. |
