Small Houses.

Richmond Is one OF tse most beautiful cities
in the Union, and IL amost desirable place to
live ia. It's attractions strike every one who
chances 10 pay us q visit. Our people are
conservative and law.abidlng, our churches
are many, and our school systems, public and
private, cannot be excelled. But there is
one thing needed, and that Is better proyl-
sion for housing the working classes. Not
that Richmond Is worse of in this respect
than many other cities. On the contrary,
she makes better showing In the matter OF
houses for worknRmeu than most places OF
her size. The tenement system does not
prevail here 10 any great extent, and 1t can
not be said there is great scarcity OF small
houses. But these houses are not OF the
character we would wish to see-not OF the
+ character that conduces 10 place city ahead
OF her sisters rs a city Of homes for those in
limited circumstances. BY better provision
for housing the working classes we
mean comfortable, conveniently. arranged
buildings OF tasteful architectural design, To-
Gated In airy places, and surrounded by sur
fcient ground to give the children room for
exercise and the cultivation OF flowers.
Such houses inspire in the occupant sense OF
possession and lesd to contentment A city
OF homes Is a city OF happiness. and happi-
ness is the mother Of refinement, elevation,
aud prosperity. The average workingmnn
cannot afford TO send hi. family out Of town
during the heated term. aDdt give his little
ones plenty OF breathing space ia good in
vestment for community, looking at the
question from n sanitary standpoint alone.
Barring the iiyer-iront Richmond is sur
rounded by beautiful sites for rows OF pretty
little houses with plots Of ground attached
that could be rented al moderate figures and
would still yield good profit to their owners.
