TO BEAUTIFY
CITY'S SLUM
An Organization for /viunici
pal Improvements.
IS STRONGLY ENDORSED
Mr. C. B. Cooke Directing tbe Move?
ment Looking to Organization for
Adornment and Improvement
of Streets, Homes, Etc.
An organization is about to bo perfected
in tills City which promises in a few
years to accomplish much for tbo beautl
lieatlon on?] Improvement of.the city und
the promotion of sanitary conditions. This
prospective organisation will be known as
tho Civic Improvement League, of Rich?
mond) and will number among Its mem?
bers many of the foremost men and wo?
men of Richmond, and to enlist the sym?
pathy, encouragement and co-operation
of ull the iniluential societies nnd asso?
ciations of every klnel in tills city.
The proposed league will lie nllii'el with
tlu American Dengue for Civic Improve?
ment; which has Its headquarters at
Springfield, Ohio, but will be Inilepend
e'iil In nil essential details of any other
association, merely profiting by the ex
].e rlence of other cities having such Im?
provement leagues.
Mr. Charles B. Cooke, of the Real Es?
tate Trust Company. No. 1107 IC.'ist Alain
Street, has Inaugurated this movement
looking to beautifying tlie city, and hue
done so on ills own Inltiatlvo and actu?
ate!! only by puhllc spirit and a deslio
to see the city advance with others in tlio
direction of Internal-improvement and the
adornment or concealmnet of the ugly,
dilapidated or neglecte-d suburbs and sec?
tions or tho city. The promoter of the em?
bryo organization lins no axe to grind,
no interest In this movement other than'
that which will lie shared by every other
citizen who owns property or Is Ihterest
pi in tlie enhancement of values by legit?
imate means. Improvement of sanitary
conditions Is an important phase of tlie
work undertaken ~. by- -kh-dred organiza-?
tlbns in other cities, and one which will
In a year e?r two be ono of tbo alms of
the Richmond league.
NATIONAL/ PRESIDENT COA1ING.
Mr. Cooke stated to a reporter for The
rimes-Dispatch that Mr. J. Horace Mc
Parlnnd, head of tlie national organiza?
tion of Improvement Leagues, will be
here soon, and will mak? an address ex?
pository of the work, achievements nnd
alms., of the league. At thut timo it Is
hoped nn organization will lee effected
her??. Tho aim of tlie leader.-! of tlie
movement Is to seouri? the co-opcrallon
of representative nnel influential people
of tbe city, and from lho "best to chooso
tlie very best head for tho league, so as
t*. insure its suecos.** from the start.
He naturally believes that what has been
accomplished elsewhere can be accom?
plished here. In his efforts to pave ilio
way for a. strong organization, Mr. Cooke
has mef great encouragement. Here, for
Instance, are statement? of prominent
men and women all the heads of large
