Landscape Topic
of Garden Club;
Officers Named

A very Instructive Garden Club
meeting in the Hover Laboratory
OF the Michigan State Normal Col.
lege featured talk by Edward
Cross, Monroe landscape artist,
who was introduced by Harlow E.
Laing OF the Lincoln School. Mr..
Cross gave a very interesting talk
on Landscape Garden designs. He
said. I'VE first want to get the men
tai picture ofihe garden, then be
gin to place our material" Among
the things 10 be considered are:
background. frame, trees and
boundary. The center interests are
bird baths and pools. Flowers add
the color, shadow, atmosphere,
charm. Fundamental rules to be
considered are breadth, space and
lines-horizontal or vertical lines.
Horizontal lines are usually best.
Fine and heavy foliage are fea-
lures 10 be studied.
Mr.. Cross said individual taste
varies so much in likes and dislikes
in the number and the massiveness
o. shrubs, trees and flowers that
each ones garden can be, and per
haps Is, different from any one
else's. His opinion in having a har-
monious garden Is that too many
things. unless Of the right sort, do
not beautify, but detract.
Mr.. Cross showed beautiful pic
lures in technicolor.

lowed In which the following Off.

Council

field will soon be essential here.
Mr.. Older stated that he was not
himself in q position to undertake
the conversion task.
Board members also pointed out
that, by installation Of the water
gas units, Mr.. Greim virtually
saved the gas department, stop
ping losses and increasing produc.
ton to meet the heavy wartime
demand.
Because It had been anticipated
tina. natural gas could be obtained
here, 1t had been deemed advisable
not to spend large sums in main.
tanning the artificial gas plant. The
result was that the war found the
city with its gas plant q virtual
wreck, no hope Of natural gas and
its city engineer too Ill to work.
Mr.. Greim stepped into the pic.
ture at that point and saw the need
for action, but in driving for action
he apparently failed in finesse.
Workmen complained and when
Mr. Older was able to return to
supervise affairs OF the water and
gas department, Mr.. Greim was as.
signed duties as engineer so that
his advice and guidance might be
available without direct contac:
with workmen. The workmen con-
tend, however, that because OF
clashes in the past there might be
more in :he future and they are
therefore demanding OF the city
that Mr.. Greim should be dis
missed.
Complaints Aired
Examples of clashes were given
at the meeting. One was that Mr..
Greim had accused one OF the men
OF stealing pipe. According to the
mans testimony. however, what
Mr.. Greim actually said to him
was: Some pipe is missing. Do you
know anything about it?'
The second complaint was that,
during labor negotiations a year
ago Mr.. Groim had remarked
There isn't a city employe worth
more .han 80 cents an hour and
wish had the authority to fire
them" He also objected to loaf
ing.
Meter Tamperlng Dangerous
Another charge placed by the
union was that Mr.. Greim had vir'
tually accused two field men oil
tampering with meters. That direc,
accusations on this point had been
made was denied by both Mr..
Greim and Mr.. Older. Mr.. Greim
explained that meters we're found
with loose nuts and that scratches
on the newly painted nuts indicat
ed that the loosening had occurred
after the meters left the city meter
repair room. He said he had stated
this circumstance "bordered or
sabotag &c" and asked federal invest
igation. The board did not gram
lhis request, he said.
n Mr.. Greim stated he was con
esrusd over this situation becaus'
OF dsrser Of explosions In homes.
y, In the background o. the metel
difficulty was a situation involving
a worker no longer in city employ
The union had asserted that thu
man was discharged. The boarC
countered with the answer that h
was in the habit OF submitting hi
resignation at frequent interval
and that the board had finally &C
cepted II and replaced him.
