Ruined by People.

Corner-cutting is not popular with
people who own property On the cor
ners. and complaint is being made
by some OF these that the infringe
ment on their rights Is not by any
means confined to small boys and
girls, but that men and women, who
should know better. are in the habit
of cutting across lawns.
One man who takes considerable
pride In his lawn complained today
that men and women are taking to
cutting directly across the corners OF
ssss5 lawn, and that low with the frost
getting out OF the ground. they are
making holes in the ground. and other.
wise injuring the lawns.
People who own corner lots have
some rights which it seems that pedes-
TRANS ought to respect, although un-
fortunately. they don't as a rule. Pos
sibly, II they are reminded OF 1t, how
ever, they will stop before they cut
across lots. Where fences and rail
ings are put up the small boy tries
turning pole stunts. thereby injuring
both lawn and fences.
