TO BEAUTIFY STREET
Corners Of Parkings Of Main Street,
From Ninth Street to Eighth Avenue,
to Be Planted With Shrubbery-Su-
perintencent Rubee to Direct Work.

A plan to improve and beautify the
street corners of Main street from
Ninth street east to Eighth avenue, ex
ceptng in the business district, was
adopted 3: the parks and Fairgrounds
of the Marshalltown Club at
u meeting held Saturday afternoon.
The plan is to be financed by the
committee. with the assistance of the
Rotary Club and with the cooperation
of the city park department. Superin-
tendent :. w. Rubee. of Riverside GEM
etery. who is member of the COM
mittee. was placed in charge of select
ing and getting the shrubbery and set
ting it early in the spring.
The plan Is to set in the triangular
space in the street corners of the park
ings that are bounded by curve of the
curbing and the intersections of the
sidewalks a group of hardy Towering
shrubs. Superintendent Rubee has in
mind selecting for the central shrubs OF
each group probably hydrangeas and
spirea (bridal wreath) surrounded by
harberry There are about fifty of
these intersections. and it will require
about 500 shrubs to plant them. Most
of this shrubbery the city has growing
in nursery plots. The rest of it will
be bought, but the estimated cost for
the stock and labor Is placed at about
$3.50 If the plan proves successful 1t
