Richmond Needs Landscape Engineer.
To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,--four editorial of April 90, reIa
tive 10 landscape gardener for Rich
mohd Is TO be highly commented. Any
one who is familiar with the surround
readily see that such a movement
would greatly benefit the community.
and the results to be derived from
such an addition to the city force can
not be estimated, compared with the
small amount of outlay 1t would take
to carry on this work.
There has been much said in regard
to the lack of civic pride in Richmond
aud it seems to me that this feature
of improvement is one of the greatest
assets in the development of n city
along this line. This Kind of improve
mcnt not only instills pride into a city,
but ii enhances the value of property
rived from il in taxes would more than
pay for the outlay made for the proper
supervision.
AS stated in your editorial there are
plenty of places which should receive
the attention of Il man in charge of
this kind Of work. The city of Rich
mond takes as small amount of interest
in this line of work as any of It's size
in the country. but. however. it has n
greater need for Improvement than
many other cities that do develop the
unimproved sections.
The many hills on which the city
is built could be made scene Of beauty
left at the, present time. The James
River could be made to present one of
the most beautiful river fronts in the
country. Let us hope that this matter
Will receive due consideration and
meet with hearty approval. a.

will be necessary to handle this tre-
mendous volume of business cheaply
and expedIIiously, and to do so, some
transportation medium more econo-
mical than the horse and wagon
must be found. Not only will motor
road transportation displace horse
methods, where they are at present
used, but the power wagon will find
large field In branches OF the new
work for which the horse Is wholly
untitled.
The condition of the country roads
in the various states will play most
important part in the success or
failure of parcels post service. There
is big mileage Of public roads over
the country that are practically I'M
navigab1e during certain times in the
year. The betterment Of these pub
lie highways along with modernized
parcels post transportation will do
far more than any other agency in
getting rid of needless expenditures.
wiping out arbitrarily excessive
charges and bringing down the cost OF
living to a point where the humblest
citizen can have a choice of cereals,
eggs, sausage, corn cakes or buck
wheat cakes for his breakfast, in
stead of hominy, "fap-iaeks" or stale
bread and molasses. This is a prob
lem that great minds are now work.
Ing on and the solution seems to be
in making necessary provisions for
building these roads by both national
and state Governments.
1t isn't ..Blddy's" fault that eggs are

100000 worth of the hens output Is
permitted 10 get too high for con-
sumption before 1t reaches the break
fast table. The cause for this Is at
trlbuted to the miserable system of
distribution. Direct shipment from
the farm TO the breakfast table
through the agencies of parcels post
and good roads may give remedy
and save this big bank roll on the
nations egg crop alone.

at the scnoolhouse last evening it was
voted to lease the lines, switchboard,
