IS. at least. lucky that We were not

TO fear the worst even before the

But Richmond should not despair.
This board. which was created with a
desire to better things. cannot be a,
lowed to drag US down. The recall
should be enacted at once. Our State
Constitution now gives IS the right I
believe.
Several Western cities were COM
PEELED to recall members of their first
boards before they convinced the poll

The recall has a more powerful deter

Editor of Times-Dispatch, City:
Dear Sir.-The writer was never
more disEusted IN his life than on
reading Of the action of the Admins

Building Inspector to succeed Mr.. Beck.
The writer has for several years
agitated a commission form OF gov
eminent for Richmond. but he has
always been in favor of a straight out
and out commission government, in
GLIDING the initiative. referendum and

OF an Administrative BOARD was that
II IL was a failure that the people
would say that IL was commission
form OF government in modified way.
and II that was failure, what would
n strictly commission form be' While
on the other hand. IL it was an i'm
provement over the old form. that the
people would say: Why. let well
enough alone. What We have now is
a great improvement over what we
did have I; has been my opinion
that the selection of an Administrative
Board would retard for years COM
