Show Sl.wi: uteri xa Suade Trees, Tho follwin; was handed in yesterday yester-day : The murder of trees going oh in i sonic parts of the city calls for severe reprovnl. Shade trees, that it hns ! taken years of care to bring to a good-' ly size, arc being ruthlessly sacrificed undor the axo and saw, in tho hands i of boys; for what JSoiuinaily to make them "stocky." But when we see full-grown lindens, box eiden, and I maples cut otl when budding, and that, too, when the tops arc upward? of sis iached diameter, surely somei limit should be hid. The deciduou trees, with very few exemptions, require odIj eo:aiional clippings, which will , soon make stuh shade trees "stocky." i Now, when it come- to taking off the entire upper half of healthy trees, it is time to remonstrate. Suppose partic.-; I in New Haven tb) Elm City were to I cut o'd and muti.ate as is here betnc done ? Why, I verily believe the offender of-fender would be imprisoned. Pruairg I is one thin:, mutilation another. Shade i trees torm. always, ao important cie- merit in b,autiting a city. Stumps, tec i tchfteen feet high, compare but poor ' ly with trees of thirty lt. In fart.it' tin j spoliation now going on i? to bo kept , up, wo micht, for tho next few years. ao well have a row of telegraph j polos io front of our houies. |
