CITY BEAUTIFUL
PLAN ADOPTED AT
MASS MEETING

The attendance at the meetint
to consider plans for the beauti
fcation Of Lakeland was not al
well attended as it should have
been, but the score or moro
good citizens present evidenced
considerable interest and enthusiasm
in the project. The report of the com.
mittee appointed by previous meet.
ing, which report is printed herewith
was adopted in its entirety, and the
Community Council, acting in con-
junction with the City Commissioners
are expected to begin action at once 4.
A meeting OF the Community Coun.
Gil to start the ball rolling, is called
for 500 o'clock tonight, at the CITY
Hall. .m
There was general discussion on
the part Of those present. Mr.. Rig
gins explaining the committees re-
port in detail. He was followed by
Mr.. Broadhurst, of the Lakeland Gas
Co., which institution is largely re-
sponsible for launching the move
ment, Mr.. Broadhurst expressing the
interest and giving assurance Of the
cooperation of the Gas Company in
any effort at civic improvement. Mr..
Selden, of the Y. M. c. A. also gave
expression of approval to the plans
while Mr.. J.. G. Williams
declared the city should take the inia-
tive by establishing sidewalk grades,
insisting on providing and maintain
ing proper sidewalks carrying on a
systematic campaign Of weed-cutting,
and identifying the cemetery. Mr..
H. l.. Collins. vice. president of the
Rotary Club, pledged the hearty CO.
operation of that body.
The report as adopted follows:
To the Citizens of Lakeland:
We, your committee, appointed by
a mass meeting of citizens on July 26,
1920, to formulate an outline of ten
tative plans for city Identification, beg
to submit the following rec0mmenda-
lions:
The movement should be financed
by the city, except where some CO.
operative plan as hereinafter suggest
ed, may be adopted; and for their pur-
pose we recommend that an improve.
nent fund Of not less than $4,000 a
year be set aside from any public
moneys available. 1t is suggested that
his fund might be obtained from

earnings of the light and water plant
/ The work should be placed in tn
charge of the Community Council, rep
resenting the various civic organiza
tons. To insure prompt action ant
greater efficiency, we would sugges
that an executive committee Of tire,
persons be appointed by the Commun
ity Council.
A subcommittee should be appoint,
ed by the Community Council whose
duty would be to stimulate a contin.
uous, general and city-wide campaign
of Individual efforts towards beautify-
ing lawns, yards and parkways. This
committee should assist particularly
in the work Of Planting, by suggesting
varieties of shrubs, plants or flowers
that may be suited to the locality, ad-
yising as to the time for planting, and
where and how plants, shrubs or seeds
may lie secured. We would recon-
mend that citizens order through this
committee, thereby getting the bene-
fit of quantity prices. Whenever 1t is
deemed expedient or desirable the
services of competent landscape
gardener may be employed. The
County Agricultural Agent has vol
unteered to cooperate in this work
and his services will undoubtedly
prove of great value.
The formation Of Community I'm
rrovement Associations in various
parts of the city is recommended and
urged, whereby citizens may improve
and beautify their respective locali-
ties. These associations should work
in conjunction with the Community
Council, which shall at all times be
in readiness to help them attain the
mOSt desirable results.
Whenever any Community Improve
ment Association shall decide upon a
plan of permanent improvement, such
as the laying of walks, the extending
or shaping of lake entertainments, or
in general any work of substantial
and lasting character, it shall submit
such plan to the Community Council,
and upon approval by the latter, the
City of Lakeland shall pay such pro-
portion of the cost of such work as
may be recommended by the Commun-
lty Council.
It IS hoped that contributions Of
various amounts may be received from
and interested firms, cor
pOrations and citizens to further this |
and where these donations |
are made without specifying parti-
cular purpose for which to be used.

The struggle is Of vital Importance, as
Burma has the most advanced civiliza-

With this in view. the General Board
