Proctor Would Gust
Boats and Shacks
and Replot

DOBERT PROCTOR, city
IN building superintendent,
recommended TO the city
council Tuesday a new plan
Of civic Improvement that
would:
Eliminate all house
boats along the shore of
Lake Washington.
Do away with the hun
dreds of cottages and I'M
slightly shacks that now
dot the shore Of the lake.
Provide for the con-
struction of connecting
links to join the existing
boulevard system.
Proctor would have the
city either purchase or con-
denim this lake front prop
erty and replot it in high
class building lots. This re-
plotting and resale at the
much higher value the land then
would bring would pay the entire
cost OF the project, he said, in rec
ommendIng the plan 10 the city
council.
The harbors and public grounds
committee will consider the plan
Wednesday.
But residents OF Thurman ave. and
other sections along the lake front
who are striving to improve their
small homes and holdings, look upon
the project with alarm. Many fear
that the work OF years viii be wiped
out and that their choice lots will DO
lost in the general scramble.
Many OF the property owners havs
acquired title 10 small houses on tho

OF course, Dick might want children. He probably
would. Most men did want them Why not, since they

Georgia Congressman Denounces
Government Estimates of Acre

that he will introduce a relief meas

boil weevil can be controlled but it
looks like it is Almost an impOssibility

SAILS ARE TRIED
IN PLOUGHING

BRIGHTLINGSEA, England Nov.
4.-Sails were introduced as an aid
to ploughing in a soil tiller's match
near this little seaside resort of
which many of it's residents are
yachtsmen as well as farmers. The
wind at times aided the horses in
dragging the plough along but at 9th
er times puffs blew the implements
to one side and spoiled a straight
furrow which hindered the contest
ants chance of winning first prize.
Men as well as women participated
in the contest, which the judges de-
cided was a great success but
thought there was little possibility OF
sails ever putting horses or motors
out of business when it comes to
blowing.
