be supervised by Joel Reese,
county agent, but labor, equip-
ment, and material will be fur-
nished by the city.

clude the time spent spraying
the trees, material and labor us-

responsible for damage done to
shrubs and flowers.
Any person who desires their
tr«?ea sprayed should call 45 and
get their name on the list be-
