Lot Improvement.

The first years work OF the Civic

ment by prize contests, as reviewed
in It's report. 10 an encouraging mes
sage when we realize the obstacles In
the way, as pointed out. by reason Of
the destruction wrought by the tor
nado in the early spring. and the con-
sequent diversion OF effort from i'm
provement TO restoration and recon
struction. Under these conditions,
the headway made is really remark
able. The exceptional conditions.
however, that prevailed during the
past year are not likely to be met
with again. 90 that the determination
Of the league to retain the original
plan for city Identification, and to
push II with renewed energy next
year. must be gratifying TO all. and
should enlist the necessary individual
and neighborhood cooperation in
