ABSTRACT
THE master plan is rapidly becoming an important feature of planning, whether local, state, or national. The use of terms in various parts of the country differs and causes some confusion. Ohio officials, for instance, fell into the way of calling an adopted map of streets and parks a master plan, whereas New York State was more inclined to keep the words “master plan" to designate a plastic plan which is retained by the planning commission and can readily be changed as occasion demands.
