HOUSE BUILDING HERE.

Richmond is in sore need Of a law re-
ouiring the appointment Of building in
spector and giving him ample powers to
discharge his duties to the best advantage
to the public.
That we have done without one for more
than q century and half is no argument
against the plea Of necessity for one now.
In the good old days the people Of Rich
mond were without city water, without
gas without electric lights and on the
chief residential streets from two to four
houses for the entire equare were consid-
cred q. plenty. More than that number
would have been looked upon as crowd
ing things" And it was the custom, too,
to take about a year to erect and finish
off a comfortable dwelling. Then. too, SUI
burban property was annexed as the
owner OF it laid it off in squares and
streets, with little regard for the future of
the city The result we see in streets that
do not cross or connect where one would
expect them TO; streets that are some
times crooked and often too narrow.
The same illogical and short-sighted
policy that obtained in the matter Of "ar-
ditions' to the city was in vogue with re-
spect 10 building lines, hence we see great
irresularity in the location Of houses on
the same squares. though as a rule front
Yards were formerly provided in the case
of residences while shops, or stores. were
built plumb" on the line Of the sidewalk.
So it was Of old. We are now living in
day when water. sewers gas and cleo
trio lights must be included In the plans
of the householder; when houses are run
up higher than formerly. and when
more's the pity on residence streets
nearly every inch of the lots frontage is
| covered with bricks and mortar, and
speed in building is demanded of the
builder by the investor. Under these Cir
cumstances most cities of our class have
recognized the necessity for the enactment
