ISKED TO MEET TO DISCUSS
COMMERCIAL AERIAL LINES
Home GARDENS To BE
FOSTERED BY C. OF. c.
Workmen of This City Re-
ceive Agricultural Land
At Very Low Cost.

Because OF the Industrial condition
as IL exists in the city. the Chamber
OF Commerce has decided TO again re-
vive the system of giving out plots
for home gardening 10 the working
man. The Chamber has had expert
encc in this form of assisting those
who wish to raise some food which
they ent. Up Until last year, the
gardens were run successfully for
years, IL being thought advisable last
year that the gardens be discontinued
The popular demand for them. is
strong this year. because, IL is
thought that there is plenty OF time
for development along agricultural
lines. The Chamber will foster the
idea IL there are enough names on a
petition to warrant such action. The
officers will be open all next week, and
in addition Monday and Tuesday eve
nings from until for the purpose of
receiving names OF men who wish
10 take advantage Of this offer. AS
Il is getting late in the season, the
officials of the Chamber want all who
wish plot to work on, sign in the
early part of the week.
The plan of letting out plots is
simple. The Chamber gets the land
and assign IL to the men for the ask
ing. The plot which rs given 10 the ap-
plicant is as near TO his home as pos
sible. The cost attached Is just the
cost of plowing and furrowing. and
the Chamber is willing to wait for
this money loan until the end of the
season. The plots are about SO by
100 feet and cost attached is about
50 or $3.50 n plot. <
1t Is Understood that. IL enough
names appear on the petition. a COM
mittee will he appointed and the plots
will be available In a week or so.
