RELIEF WORKERS GARDENS
Objections to the relief workers' garden plot scheme are submitted by '■'•Relief Worker" and "Footsore." The former states that a relief worker cannot afford to pay for tram fares to his plot and for seeds and manures, that his spare time is occupied in looking for work so that he may not be always on relief, that a large percentage of the men know nothing of gardening, that it is more economical to buy the small quantity of vegetables required for a family of three than to grow them, and that the garden plot scheme is detrimental to the" interests of market gardeners. "Fpotsore's" complaint is - that the allocation of the plots does not always take account of where the workers liye, and that there should be some supervision to prevent pilfering of the produce.
