The Confederate GRAY.

Editor Of the Dispatch:
S.r.-Nou have doubtless received COM
munications from others better qualified
than myself 10 give information concern
ms the origin Of the Confederate uniform.
bat it has always been my impression
titat the reason gray was the color adopt-
go was because the officers Of the Con-
Tolerate Army We're mostly West Point
sraduatcs, had worn the gray as cadets.
ana when il became necessary to select
q uniform for the newly organized South
err forces which would be distinct from
the United states Army blue. IL was
natural that cadet gray" should suegost
itself and be chosen to clOthc the soldiers

Norfolk and Richmond.

s-iSeWhere wa present another munich
pal exhibit from our friend, Mr.. Walter
sharp, or Norfolk. His communication
is cheorfully published. and his original
communication on the subject would have
received similar treatment had it been
addressed TO The Times Dispatch.
But Mr.. Sharp is stiM dealing in err
rors. lie now says that tho assessed
value OF the rolling stock Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad is included in
fichmond's real estate assessments for
1900 and 1905. In this statement he is
wholly wrong.
lie then proceeds 70 make comparisons
between the gain in Richmond and Nor
folk respectively in real estate assess
ments for those years. He puts Rioh-
mond's gain at 81. 4eS $40 and Norfolk's at
Sll&6l4S9. But is it not fact that Nor
folk took in new territory within that
period?
Whether so or not. tho comparison does
Richmond a gross injustice. The as
sessment for 1900 was tho assessment for
1899. with improvements added Tho re-
assessment OF lands in 1900 did not appear
In the Auditors report until 1901: and
tho rc-assessment OF lands In 1905 did not
appear until 1905. 1t is plain. therefore.
that comparisons should he made between
1901 and 1906. and hero is Richmond's ex-
hibit.

As for population. we DO not know what
is the exact number Of Richmond's inhab-
itants at this time but we ask again if
Norfolk did not annex new territory be-
tween 1900 and December l. 1906.
Mr.. Sharp finally asks why Richmond's
water power Is not being utilized. We are
at a loss to know why he asks such "a
question. a few years ago an available
water power OF the falls of the James
at this point was developed by home
company. and every bit of it is now i'm
