NO. 41 Crushed Rock Streets May be Had at Low Cost Property Owners "Willing to Pay the Small Cost of Material Can Have WPA Assistance. Tl, a Tv'LTirtot ic oilviael 1 Tl r. t i h e , ...,-", ,rPA c(raot ,.r., & - sunaeu.-, ...i-jt .i. ... ...s - the same as on um.m ae .ue. -. very good at tins time. A reot-nt- 'blanket" proposal for street im provements has been given Washington'.-; approval, and will only have to be passed on by the Lincoln office, to ptrmit work to start. The city V'PA committee is well pleased at the low cost of material ro'ng into the Lincoln avenue rock surfacing project and the co-operation given by the WPA, and would recommend the inclusion of as many streets into a third rock surfacing project as property owners can get together on in the matter of shr.r- ing the small incidental costs. The first project on Wintersteen Hill and the present project on Lin- coin avenue are on heavily traveled rou'es used in eretting into and out of the city, as well as traversed by the mail route, justifying the expen- diture of rrr.soline tax money, but on Yirt erst ceii hill, property owners also contributed a considerable part of the direct cost to the city. Wiih WPA assistance in grading and draining the streets, crushing hauling and spreading the rock, the city as spi.ns.u- can pay for the rock, crus'.er rental, crusher operator and tni'k hire, together with, engineer ing services and other incidental ce.sf? required of a sponsor, at a total ccr-i of not to exceed $1 per yard. A yard of rock will spread to a three inch depth on a 25-foot feathered-out edge residential street, four running feet. In other words, using the WPA setup, it will be possible to rock surface the 44 running feet of stieet surface in front of ordinary rize lots, at a cost of ?,".r.O to each of the two property owners on oppo site sides of the street or $11 for the cost of the rock laid on the job. There is no question but that this is only a part of the cost of the rock, but with the WPA furnishing the man power to graae ana drain ine roadway, quarry, crush;, haul and spread the rock, that is about all property owners will be called upon to pay to get their street surfacing don". There will be no districts' created and each block must come in ' 100 ;i r cent, to be included in this; proposed third rork surfacing pro-; je.t. The city is paying the cost of: intersections, same as customary in; paving districts. Property owners cannot get this service or anywhere near the price for rock where it has to be quarried, crushed, hauled and spread by pri vate contractors, nor can they secure WPA aid of themselves. The project must be of ample size to warrant consideration and approval by the Lincoln office and it must be spon sored by the city itself. '.

MORNING GLORY BLOOMS MAY BE EASILY INCREASED A greatly increased number of morning glory blooms in a curtailed space may be obtained by pinching back the stems of the plant. This procedure is useful where there is limited room for vines to climb, or where it is desired to grow morning glory in window boxes. The central or main stem should be pinched off just above the second node. New stems will sprout out from the point where growth is pinched away, and these too should be pinched off just above the first or second node. This will cause vines to grow bushier and carry a greatly increased number of blossoms. jW. C. T. U. !
