Uuited States Army Post.

II is suggested that Richmond make an
effort TO secure an army post for this
city. The Army Board meets Tin Wash
singtor on the 18th and it is possible such
a post may be secured for Richmond
upon proper application ard representa-
ton by the City Council and the Cham
Der of Commerce. With such post here,
the city would be benefited accordingly. a
detachment from the army will spend
considerable money. and the improve
lnents would amount to many thousands
of dollars. It is worth the trial at any
rate.
