DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
No Money for Trccs.

Capt. Fiebeger under whose direct charge
the parking commission comes wrote a let
ter to the Commissioners today calling at
tention to the urgency OF an Increased ap-
preparation for the parking commission. He
says numerous complaints have been re-
ceived from citizens who desire their trees
trimmed and the dead wood removed, but
they cannot be attended to, as the fund for
this work is nearly exhausted. With an
increased appropriation the trees that have
died during the year can be replaced, but
many OF them will have to be removed un-
less provision is made, leaving unsightly
bare spaces Then again. he says a number
OF trees need trimming. and a larger ap-
preparation Will be the means Of saving
many valuable trees. The Commissioners
are unanimously in favor Of an increased
appropriation for this work. and will ask
Congress TO properly appropriate.
