DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT.
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

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
