Elm Trees In Boston Common DyInE for
Want of Water.

BosroN. July 23.-The drought which has
prevailed hereabouts for the past six weeks Is
having marked and disastrous effect upon
shade elms. Those that have been set out
within the last three years suffer most. as
they have not become sufficiently deep
rooted to reach the lower sources OF moisture.
On all the public grounds valuable young
trees are in danger OF speedy death
unless a heavy rain comes soon. Many
American elms and other trees whose root
system lies near the surface OF the ground are
also suffering. Several on the common OF con-
siderable age are showing cracks in the bark
and G loss OF foliage betokeninR decay. Three
moderately large elms. at least are so far
gone that City Forester Dough- has recon-
mended their removal. The ordinary facilI-
ties for watering at the various par ks
are totally Inadequate to relieve tho
young trees.and the City Forester has applied
to the Wator Department for assistance with
the public watering carts: but this cannot be
furnished as long as dry weather continues.

Keep the streets in comfortable condition As
soon as a day OF rain comes. or even a mod
