Sir--Although the worlds fair to be
held in this city in 1926 is still -FOUR
years off, we should begin ut once our
preparation to make this n city beau
tiful in every way possible in order to
make n good impression on the millions
Of visitors who will come here to Mt
tend the fair. For some years we have
been badly ncglecting our trees, and all
dead wood should be removed and trees
planted everywhere to add sylvan ct-
feet to every location. and our public
squares and other places where there
are lawns should be put in proper shape.
The owners Of properties should be
compelled to clean up and fix up so that
the city will have the appearance OF
thrift. order and physical beauty.
I have visited most Of the large cities
Of the country. and Philadelphia has
greater possibilities than any of them
in the way of Identifying. but unfor-
tunatcly most Of our people of wealth.

ing the city proper was we'll cared Tor.
