now arrived when ever citizen
should take pride in making
our town beautiful. We are
all equally interested in this
matter. Every citizen who
improves the appearance of
his property does not only in-

extent increases the value of
renter and the person of mod*
erate means, so that free and
fair competition is open to all,
and tasts and industry.

three hundred entrants in this
contest. It ought to result
in hundreds more of home
properties being beautiful
