Show Highway Planting Gets Support of Motor Club The planting of shade trees on main highways throughout the country has the indorsement of the National Motorists' Mo-torists' association, according to a bulletin issued to the automobile clubs of the country. Care should be exercised, the bulletin bulle-tin says, by the state forestry and state highway boards in this work so as to preclude any possibility of planting plant-ing trees or shrubbery at locations that will act as "snow catchers." The problem of preventive measures on arterial ar-terial highways which will keep the snow drifts from the roadbed should be given consideration by every local and state highway engineer, according accord-ing to the, message. It also calls attention at-tention to the fact that trees that are placed too near the road may uproot pavements in time and cause consider 1 able damage. |
