Plans are being formulated In Ana
costa for competition between dwellers
here who desire attractive lawns and
well-kept yards.
The Anacostia Citizens Association
will be requested at it's next meeting
to further the project, by arranging the
details of the competition, and naming
a committee Of judges to pass upon the
appearance of the lawns and yards dur
ing a stated period. as was done two
years ago, at which time the associa-
tion awarded prizes to the successful
res dents. The effort will be to have
the association repeat its offer, failing
in which 1t Is likely a number property
owners will themselves decide to man
age the contest.
The plan advocated by those inter-
ested Is to have at lea st two classes OF
premises entered in the contest. namely,
the ones with lawns and those whose
| rear yards have no board fences. THIS
| plan may be enlarged to meet the views
! Of those who are likely to undertake
