PATERSON.

Supreme Court Justice Jonathan Dixon caused SEN
satiOn yesterday at Paterson by delivering strong
special charge to the Passaic County Grand Jury IN
regard to the alleged illegal acts OF the Board OF
Freeholders, especially the board Of 1sol92, WHICH
bought site for a Court House, and gave ous
contracts for lighting the suburban roads oy eco
trcity. The purchase Of twenty city lots from 'ns
Colt Land Company for $4,000 vas rushed through
at meeting OF the board In August 1891, the checks
being al ready In advance. In regard to the lighting
OF the county roads the Judge said that the Free
holders ndictabe, because they had violated the
law by making contracts for more than one year ms
inference from the Judges charge Is that the purchase
OF the Court House site was Illegal and therefore,
could be annuei throwing the property back on the
hands OF the Colt Land Company and that the Edison
company has been unlawfuly receiving public money
for lighting the roads.

STREET TREES.
Care in Selecting, Planting and Prun-


Street trees sometimes need pruning.
If, however, they have been originally
well selected, small knife will be all
that is necessary, for a few years, to re-
move an occasional branch that starts out
in the wrong place. There is rarely any
necessity of cutting of large limb. If
this necessity ever does come, the limb
should be cut off close to the trunk and
the place smoothed over and painted, so
that the wound will be ultimately covered
with healthy bark. We have often ex-
planned that wherever stub Is left this
must inevitably die, and as the trunk
grows about it there will be a plug of
rotted wood where the branch originally
grew, and the disease will eat inward and
downward as the water soaks in from
without. After street trees have attained
mature size, pruning is rarely needed be-
yond the occasional cutting away OF
dead branch or the removal of one which
interfered with another.
In most cities property are not
permitted to cut down a tree along the
street-front of their own grounds with
out the permission of the city authorities.
In many of these same cities, however,
every owner has right to prune his
trees, and when such an owner listens to
the persuasions of the professional trim
mer, his trees, which have been fortunate
enough to survive the attacks of the vari-
Ouo COApOIdtlCuS WHICH operate WlI0S anu
chop OF branches which seem to be in
their way, are menaced with still greater
danger. The truth is that the street trees
OF every city and town should be- in
charge of some officer who is acquainted
with their requirements. The superin-
tendence should begin before the trees
are planted. The officer should see that
no species are planted which are not suit
able for street trees, and that only we'll
grown and healthy individuals of these
species are selected. They should then
be planted at proper distances and with
all due care. They should have constant
supervision and protection not only
and injuries inflicted through wanton-
ness or carelessness, but against the
wounds of ignorant pruners. Better
have no street trees whatever, than trees
which have been abused until they are
objects of pity.-Garden and Forest.
