RIGHT-OF-WAY LANDS OFFERED FOR lILLINC y The N. C. & St. I . People Give Garden Spots Nashville, Tenn., March 21,- The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Kail way has, in an effort to reduce the high cost ol living to its maintenance ol way employes, tendered them the use of its right of-May lor cultivation. It is Fie lived that this action on the part ol the road will enable hundreds ol its employes to laise a garden this year who might otherwise be preveuted. The fact that in many places the right-of-way was susceptible ol cultivation, and that many ol the section forces would be glad to vail themselves of the oppor tunity, was brought to the atten tion of the management recently and orders were at once issued that the men should be accorded the privilege of the use ot such lands. There are 150 sections on the system, and during the spring and summer seasons each section is looked after by a lorce ot from ten to twelve men. The use of the right of way for gardens would enable several hundred families to have vegetables during the sum mer and, in many instances, the gardens along the right nl>way will be the only reliance these forces will have for garden truck. The land has never Ijcen in culti vaton, and aloDg some stretches of the road should bring splendid results. The orders are to the effect that section ineu aud other inaintenacne of way employes may cultivate the land wherever such cultivation does not interfere with the tions of the road. That such an order will be the means of reduc ing the high cost of living to several hundred families is appa rent. 10 PROMOTE VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Atlanta, Ga.
