Damage was most acute in the City s oldest area inside husky Brick Walls. Some favored leaving it this Way or using the rubble to till the ancient Moats. Others wanted to rebuild the City but with a new plan. In 1947, however the City Council opted to rebuild the City As closely to the old plan As possible salvaging buildings that could be salvaged and building new ones that fit the plan. The result is a City world class in Beauty and style with a population of about 500,000. Do Addario of Holyoke mass., was assigned to the army pictorial service in London at the end of the War.
