A movement is general both east
and west to utilize and beautify vacant
city lots. It is not too early 10 agitate
this in Dickinson. Owners of vacant
lots will probably be glad to give boys
and girls the use of them. If properly
taken a of and planted to flowers
they will make beauty spots instead
of a waste of weeds, and planted to
potatoes OF garden truck they will
yield a good amount of spending money
to the industrious boy or girl. Another
use for the vacant lot is as the child
rens' play ground. Who is interested in
this matter in our city and what can
be done?
