the committee on trees had conferred
with Messrs. Gibson and Chowen, and
would recommend that some money be
appropriated for the purpose of placing

Mr.. Paris Gibson, who was in the room
was asked to give his views.
add to the remarks of Alderman Clinton,
who has stated the matter clearly. As a
citizen, admit that l take much interest
IN the planting and cultivation of trees
throughout our city. l believe that
money expended in that way would
prove of great profit to the CITY, The
plan proposed which contemplates an
equal distribution of the trees in each
part of the city is judicious. In 1891 the
city will be stronger than now. The next
year it will be still stronger and further
progress can be made in tree planting.
Nature has generously endowed this
place; trees alone are needed to make II
perfect.
