tinued to-day. Mr.. John Fraser, architect,
testfed that 1t was always the custom among
architects to retain the plans OF houses for
which they furnish drawings. This custom
for their services, but not for their plans.
Plans are simply for the purpose OF conveying
the ideas OF the architect to the builder-the
custom being to pay the architect per cent.
for services. Such compensation is made at
certain stages OF the seryiceS-a portion OF it
when the preliminary sketch of the building is
made, another portion when the working plan
is made, and another portion on the completion

Flower Thieves.

Mr.. Editor: The laudable efforts of our citi-
ZeDs to adorn their premises with beautiful
plants and flowers, are In many cases wholly
frustrated by the depredatlons OF petty thieves.

adorDmentS, in many cases as soon as planted
II this thieving is not stopped it will necessarily
deter all from attempting to beautify their
homes. The many beautiful parterres through
out our city have invariably attracted the at
tentlon OF visitors, and received their special
concentrations. These efforts should be en-
couraged, for they not only beaut1fy our city,
but greatly add to the health OF our citizens
and increase the money value Of the property
if enforced, and in view OF the heavy penalties
for its violation, how is it that these vandal
acts are committed with impunity? The reluct-
ance OF most persons to appear as witnesses In
the Police Court may account for it to some ex-
tent. Something must be done, even If, as last
resort, powder and shot be employed to stop It,
II persons would refuse to purchase plants
their agents, this evil would be checked to some
extent, for these petty thieves purloin them for
the purpose of sale, not having the soul to an.
preciate their beauties themselves.
The act approved June %, 1860, imposes fine
from $50 to 800, and Imprisonment from two to
forced, and this evlll will end, and its perpetra-
tors be consigned where their teastly instincts
will be checked, c.
1t certainly is strange, that, In view Of the
complaints from all quarters of these whole
sale flower thefts, the police have never been
aDie 10 get mold OF any OF the thieves. Per-
sons go about the streets Offering choice plants
and flowers for sale at price so low that the
purchasers ought to suspect that they are
stolen. The police should overhaul all these
street hucksters OF flowers, and make them
give a satisfactory explanation how they
came by them. All good citizens should
aid In the work OF detecting these
misch1evous thieves. The school teachers
should impress upon their pupils moral les
son. not only against thoughtlesslv nn..irg flow
efs from the private parking and public squares,
but also should point out to item that, as the
future citizens Of Washington they should al
ready consider themselves the custodians OF
the public interests in having the city made
the most beautiful and attractive In the world.
In this light they should make themselves sort
of vigilance committee OF Young America to
guard from depreciation the beautiful flowers,
and young shade trees which are being planted
out on such vast scalei In our streets and parks
and which, If properly protected, will in few
years make the city wonder of floral beauty,
and delightful shade. We must ALL old and
young, cooperate in protecting our beautiful
flowers and shade trees
