First Considerations.—In laying out town sites the consideration of first importance is the location of the streets rather than the greatest number of lots obtainable. The custom of laying out town sites in rectangular lines, 734 LAND SURVEYING. without reference to topographical conditions, prevailsalmost universally throughout the United States. This islargely owing to two principal causes, viz., first, the sup-position that the rectangular method or plan will yield thegreater number of lots, and, hence, the greater profit, and,second, the haste in surveying, platting, and placing theproperty on the market does not admit of a thorough studyof the ground. The town site should be considered as a whole, the loca-tion of its main streets and thoroughfares being determinedby traffic considerations chiefly. These considerations willnecessarily involve the questions of grades, drainage, andrailway communications. Without the latter there is s
