This home sarden project must not be confused ‘with the Municipal farm. The home garden plan was incorporated a num- ber of weeks ago when large .tracts of land were loaned for prlvu,(a use under the supervision of a commit- tee and the Chamber of Commerce. 'The city loaned $1,600 to prepare the and for cuiltivation.

Mr, Vibberts also reported that plans are under for ' public instructions in canning foodstuffs during the summer. Mayor Quigley voiced his approval of the home garden work.

He favored spending the orig- inal $1,500 appropriation and $500 He sald the early under- | more if necessary.
