To the Editor of The Evening Star
The letter of A. W. 3. in The Star of
October 20 concerning the trees of this
city voiced my sentiments and has in
duced me to give expression, through the
columns of The Star to opinions which l
have frequently expressed in conversation.

trees which line some Of the streets of
the city. 1t must have been "senti-
nentalist' surely. as A. w. B. said. but
a sentimentalist without good arboreal
sense, who ever ordered the planting of
those trees. Their narrow leaves cast
little shade, they are unsightly in shape
and, worst of all, their limbs and trunks
are covered with thorns from one to four
inches in length, which, when they fall on
the ground, are as dangerous as broken
glass and dagger points to the bare feet
of the children.
hail with delight the removal of these
trees from d street between 9TH and 9th
northeast, for, like A. w. B., 1 have been
passing back and forth under their thorny
branches during the past three years.
regard them as nuisance and I sin
cerely hope the Commissioners will have
them removed from the entire street--in
fact, from the entire city. Then, when
they are removed, I hope that good, strong
Shade trees that are shady will be planted
in their places. E. e. PALMER.
