nine towns out of ten the traveller
by rail sees the frowsy end of town
and he condemns 1t a. a slack and
run down place.
Very few back yards are concealed
from public view To get clean
town, litter and disorder must be re-
moved from the rear as well az from
the front.
1t is amazing how little improve
ment work on ones property will en-
nance it's value When you replace
the broken parts Of fences, when
you straighten up the door or gate
or blind that was looping On one
hinge, when you remove the out
building whose roof has fallen i'm, you
add more to the apparent value OF
your place than the work could cost,
even If you hire it done.
One of the most needed spring i'm
provements is to grow new turf in
grass plots that are thin and worn
out, both on street land and on pri-
vate grounds One great difficulty is
that so many people cut corners
across such plots and spoil their ap-
pearance 1t makes even a hand
some town look seedy and careless.
But if people keep their grass grow
ing right up to the correct line, it
gives an impression of style and
taste.
Public school teachers should urge
the children to respect the grass
plots. No mans time is so valuable
that he can't spare two seconds to
walk around and save the green spots
that beautify his community.
