HEARTILY FAVORS 1T.
Rabbi Caliscl1 Cornlnends Pur-
chase Of Entire Block.

When one evening last week commit
tees from the Richmond Education Asso
citation. the Civic Improvement League
ana the Richmond School Board met t
push on the movement TO get the Co,,n
ell to buy the entire block between Mar
shall and Clay and Eighth md Ninth
Rabbi Edward n. Callsch, one Of thu
committee, was s.nnble to DO present h'i
sent the appended letter, giving most
cordial approval:
Ladies' and Gentlemen Of the 1Sint Com.
nittee:
As 1t Is likely I will not get to the
meeting tomorrow afternoon, I write
to let you know Of my deep interest
in tho movement to secure the add
tlonal half block on Marshall Street
from Eighth to Ninth, for the new
High School building.
While possibly the additional ground
may cost In the neighborhood Of one
sixth Of the total cost Of the build
ing, 1t will certainly enhance Its value
both materially and artistically over
one hundred per cent. When one con-
siders the inestimable advantages in
every direction to be obtained by turn
ing the building around and causing
It to face Marshall instead Of Clay
Street, and Of putting 1t in the center
of small park. with greatest posi-
bilites for beauties, cannot under
stand why any one should hesitate to
do It. AS q mere material business
proposition, 1t would be n paying
Investment. 1t would give q breathing
space where one Is needed; 1t would
enhance the value Of I'LL the surround
ing property, from which the city
itself would greatly benefit, If 1t ever
wanted to sell the old High School
building, and it would make the new
building more accessible to the street
car lines.
If the Bar Association should under
take to purchase and preserve the old
Marshall building, and I think It
would be eminently proper for 1t to do
so, the city would be relieved Of
goodly proportion OF the cost. But
the cost is not so great as to
cause the city to hesitate, or
refuse to buy when the many advan-
tages arc taken into consideration.
earnestly trust that the city
fathers can be made to see this propo-
sition In the light we do. I feel as
slred that no thinking person would
object to this piece Of long-sighted-
ness. It would prove on the contrary
to be a very popular act.
with my earnest wishes for your
success In your noble work, l am.
Very truly yours,
EDWARD n. CALlSCH.
