Edgar Chambless addresses himself to former members of the Country Life Commission, and solicits their opinion on his book Roadtown. Chambless believes that developing cities along the lines he proposes would alleviate many of the problems the commission observed during its investigations. Many prominent figures have already expressed an interest in his plan, and Chambless hopes the recipient will be able to endorse it as well.
