The Pro-Jerusalem Society has prepared a plan of Jerusalem development which provides for a large expansion of the city. New roads are projected ; certain areas are marked for reconstruction and the sites of new suburbs indicated. The plan covers an area which a population of 200,000 is expected to inhabit, or more than double the present population.
Sir Ronald Storrs, President of the Pro-Jerusalem Society, explained the scheme of the proposed development to a group of Jewish leaders. He was assisted by the Civic Adviser who answered queries put to him by Colonel Kisch, political representative of the Zionist Executive, Dr. Judah Magnes, Dean of the Hebrew University, Dr. J. Thon of the Palestine Land Development Co. and Mr. Goldwater of the Economic Board for Palestine.
