Organised Societiea of Home Owners Are rffeetiv Mean. In Angeles there are quite a number of district, ward or precinct improvement societies, and a ciireml canvass of results proves conclusively that the best work, from every point of view, is accomplished where the p-c-nter per cent of the residents own their homes. The cost of residences and other improvements or the wealth of the home owners does not seen) to have affected results in the least. It Is simply a question of all. or nearly all. being freeholders, and where such conditions prevail you may find the best Improved district and the highest stnndnrd of citizenship. The home owner Is more interested in the wel fare Of the community than he who has no fixed or permanent dwelling place. ' . The secret of success In these com munities, then, is that nil are alike in terested, and when any public ques tion arises each resident views the matter from the freeholder's stand point; therefore there ; is a well de fined community of Interest. In many of., these well direc ted societies the board of directors practically consti tute a local city council or town trus tees, and as they are usually well "backed up" by the full mcmbersnlp they are in a position to accomplish great good, to demand of the public; authorities all of their rights and privileges and In some cases have been able to enforce their wishes In matters pertaining to municipal Improvements. For the past three years th?writer has been a member of one of these boards of directors and. while not tak ing a very active part In the work, has carefully noted all the good things ac complished by the uarvanza improve ment society and feels absolutely cer tain that had it not been for the five years' hard labor of this board Gar- vanza would not be so desirable as a residential section by 50 per cent We need many more district or ward im provement so-1 Irs. - T.os Angeles Times. Preserving Street Trees. Though uniform planting of one sort of street tree tc "each street, and more particularly to each block, is far the best method of planting, it is still more essential that all existing street trees be saved. In the systematic and thorough planting of a city we must build up, not tear down, and new trees should be planted, but old ones left. The lack of care of our trees, so that horses badly damage them, often ren ders necessary the taking out of trees that have taken a decade of years to grow. It is false economy to plant and subsequently neglect, for a tree grows in value as rapidly as It grows In size. Injudicious pruning (properly hacking) often causes serious Injury to trees. Neglected cavities is another prime cause of slow death, and these should be cleaned out, treated with an anti-fungi spray and filled with cement Keep your eye on the ct i iic m i th e- Simple but effective novelties and specialties are essential for the artistic and attractive equipment of the Home.
