| loosen their purse strings a tiny BIT
and they can make Tarpon Springs
the most beautiful spot in America.
The high embankment from the wa
tiers of the bayou up to the street level
make background that cannot be
found elsewhere. Just imagine what
this would look like if turned over to
a japanese landscape gardner-beau-
tiful flowers, winding paths through
tropical foliage with myriads of tiny
lights. That is something which will
be accomplished some day, and Mr..
Backus has made the start. Let us
hope that others of our lovers of beau
ty will go Mr.. Backus one better and
improve upon what he has done.
Down in Miami some of the mil
lionaire residents are rivaling each
other in creating beautiful homes and
grounds. May the spirit of friendly
rivalry start in Tarpon Springs-the
sooner the better.
