But much credit should be given the city coun cil for their loyal support and espec ially to J. C. Duus, who gave so much o f his valuable time. A project of that nature involves much more work and planning than is apparent to the casual observer and many preliminaries must be worked out. A committee, Mrs. A. G. Ames, Mrs. Blauth and Mrs. Fred Bartholomew, gave a lot o f time to these details. It is hoped the home owners along upper Main street will interest them selves in any care that may be re quired. The trees may need water | and some protection from vandalism Some day it may be a source of pride to owners who live along our Floral avenHe. Plans had been made for the planting of shrubs and flow ers also, but the club found that the expenditure would be too great to incur, all in one season. So that is held over for the future.— Mrs. A.
