Possibilities here would include direct comDulsory approval of a board of architectural control; solicitation of subscriptions by land owners to a compact which would subject existing properties to covenants which would require submission of building plans to an archi tectural revie',,' committee functioning on a private basis; establishment of non-regulatory inducements to good architectural practices through rewards for good design or the availability of comment and assistance by a group of volUl'lteer or subsidized archi tects; compulsory consultation 'Hith a :Board. of such architects even if not followed by compulsory compliance with the architects' suggestions." iVIr.
