MR.. Lane HAS PLAN
TO CUT LIVING COST

Martin Lane and other well known
citizens are urging a plan which it
is thought will help in reducing the
high cost Of living through the use
Of lots now vacant by gardening.
The plan comprehends simply utili-
cation OF vacant spaces in the city
for the use Of people who have no
room for backyard gardens. The ad-
vantage OF this scheme, Il is pointed
out. by its advocates, is the fact that
II does not contemplate the use OF
additional labOrers in order to culti-
vate the soil as the land can be made
into garden plots and devoted 10 cul-
tivatiOn by people who may work
evenings or after business hours. The
suggestion is made that public meet
ing be held 10 discuss the plan.
Advocates of the measure hope TO
arrange a plan whereby the available
plots Of land open to cultivation may
be listed and turned over to people,
who are willing to farm it. Many people,
il is pointed out. have plenty of land
for gardening purposes but are I'M
able to work il themselves and can
not obtain abOrers to do the work.
There is no reason. it Is then de-
clared, why such land should not be
given over to people who wish TO
raise their own garden products but
have no land available for the pur-
pose.
In order to carry out this scheme
It probably would be necessary to
establish a sort of clearing house
system, it is said. A central organi-
zation would be provided. possibly
under the supervision OF the Vacant
Lot Commission, and all persons hav-
ing small areas available for garden
/ ing purposes would list their prop
critics with the committee. All per-
sons wishing land to cultivate would
then apply TO the committee and be
provided with suitable plots. A sys-
TEN OF ground rent or division Of sup
plies would have to be made, it is
pointed out, so that the owners Of
land would receive a fair return for
the use OF the land and not simply
be supplying the cultivators with
arabic land for their own advan-
