BURNED OVER.
Many OF the residents on the east side
are in the habit of burning over the va
cant lots in the vicinity OF their houses
each spring TO make the grass grow up
greener. This year Is no exception and
quite a large track north Of Turner ave-
nue. has been burned over. The dead grass
andsother things calculated to hinder the
growth OF this years grass is removed by
the burning process and as a consequence
the grass grows much greener on the
tracts that have been burned over Srpn
on The lots where IL has not.
