LAKE HAMILTON
CORRESPONDENCE

Lake Hamilton, Polk Co., Fla.
June 19.-lAn association called the
Lake Hamilton District Ornamental
League has been organized here. The
object Is to secure the services of an
expert landscape architect, and have
all the streets laid out as to what
trees and ornamentals are to be
planted, and also the roads leading
to the town. In this way a perma-
nent and uniform planting can be Sc
cured, and the best subjects selected.
The officers of the League are: Pres
ident, O. w. Howard; vice presi-
dent, ]. M. Coarsey; secretary, H.
r. Mosnat; treasurer, Mrs. Wilbur
Purcell. There is also a Junior
League for the children, and they
will assist in all ways they can, by
keeping the town clean, and by
building bird houses, and in other
ways. This work being undertaken
while the town is still new, is a most
excellent plan, as the town is only
about three years old, and In this
way, splendid results will be sure to
result In time, and the best and most
artistic and effective results secured.
This Is one of the few towns in
Florida where such a plan has been
followed, and it will make Lake
Hamilton one of the most beautiful
towns in the country. Many people |
