This action was ur1 at a meeting of the ;-a .-len 1 -partment ex-cutiw mmmittee Juki Thursday afternoon in the o Hires of the F. 15. Farnes in the lii'h school. Optimism as to the surcess of the Karrien jlan for the vacant lot and the school yard was expressed by the committee. At the prc-ent ti rn- seven acres of land have beeti reported as available to the oinrnittce. In iew of the high tost of living, Bruno NVhrling, chairman of th- corninittee, believes that the coming saMin will be more Miccessful than those in the past. The same plan as followed last year by the garden department will be in vogue with only one important Inference. Instead of railing for applicants :ih was done in l'Jl, tbe ground will iirst be secured, the committee giving particular attention to the proximity of the citizen gardeners to the plots of land. Soltc Problems. Difliculties confronted the department last year because of the distance at which .some of the applicants lived from the plots cultivated. At the Linden gardens on Linden aw, many of the gardeners took care f their growing produce in the evening and were unable to accomplish much owing to the fact that they consumed much of their time in traveling back and forth to their homes. This problem will be alleviated this year, according to Mr. Nehrlir.g. Members of the garden department conferred recently with Mayor Keller and were informed that the city would give much more help to the movement this year than in the past. It may be that the city will allow üO acres of land on V. Ptvislon st. rd. to be devoted to the purpose. If this should be done many families living in that icinity will be benefited. In order to give a vivid impression of the garden plan, the municipal recreation committee will show slides and alms of the steps in planting and growing at the regular ci-. in club metins in the various school buildings. F. 15. Harnes, municipal recreation lirector, will leave for Chicago this morning to inspect slides and lilms. Ircparv lktoklot.
