solution Of the problem. He stated
that In his work of directing the
activities OF the chamber Of commerce
he had encountered the same handi-
cap--the very wealthy citizen, who
had carved out his fortune, apparent
ly lost all interest In civic affairs and
wanted to be let alone to enjoy the
luxuries his money brought him.
Up to business Men.
Clyde Ratcliffe asserted that the
matter of permanent street improve
ment is one of the most important
subjects that now confronts Rich
mond. and he voiced the belief that
much of the responsibility for the
funeral march OF progress in this d.
rection rests with business men. who
do not keep in close touch with their
counciimen. Criticism Of the council.
he said, counts for nothing, but CO.
operation with It on the part of the
business men would mean a great
deal. Richmond might continue to
erect tall and beautiful buildings. but
unless its streets comport with Its
architecture it will present as sorry
picture as man arrayed in a dress
suit when his shoes are covered with
mud
Horace F. Smith stressed the adj
vertising value to Richmond of good
streets, and cited as illustrative an
automobile trip he made with dele
gates to a recent convention held here.
The visitors were only driven over
the show" streets-Franklin, Grace
and Monument avenue. and hand
some home and landscape were side
tracked in their admiration of the
paved street. Those three streets
are the most wonderful asset Rich
