SECOND DAYS SESSION
SUPERVISORS FINISH THE BUSI-
NESS CONVENTION
Discussions on Tree Planting, Road
Laws and General Topics.
Next Meeting at Napa

The State Supervisors convention re-
euuned its labors at 8 o'clock yesterday
morning in assembly hall in the cham
Der of commerce. Chairman Field, after
calling the meeting to order, announced
the first topic for discussion to be the
crest Method of Getting Trees Set Out
Along County Roads" Mr.. Mitchell OF
Alameda arose to remark that so far as
his county was concerned, they wished
to get many out that were already in,
especially the eucalyptus. camphor and
olive, which are not only unsightly but
an injury to roads. Mr.. Armour of Or
ange favored the planting of trees along
county roads. They made good shade
for the road, were attractive, If the prop
er kind, and protected orchards from in
Jury by heavy winds. Mr.. Justice OF San
Diego stated that the shade trees for
roads were popular in his county. Many
of them were fruit trees and profitable.
Mr.. Aver of Santa Clara said that they
had been grubbing out all eucalyptus
and other large shade trees, replacing
in some cases with almond, walnut and
umbrella. Too much shade keeps the
roads wet. Mr.. Davis of Los Angeles
presented the advantage of the eucalyp-
tus as put out along his c. unity roads.
Mr.. Mitchell of Alameda thought, per-
haps, shade trees along the roads of
Southern California might prove bene-
fcial especially in summer, but in his
county he considered them otherwise.
The eucalyptus kept the road damp,
often muddy. Mr.. Armour of Orange re-
marked that supervisors had no right to
remove trees alongside of private prop
erty. While the eucalyptus might not be
as attractive and profitable as fruit
or nut trees, and might create little
| too much moisture near the roots, the
walnut and other like trees branched too
| low and the constant pruning made the
property-owner object over loss of fruit.
Mr.. Armour suggested, however. that it
might be advisable for the condition Of
| the road to plant deciduous trees along
, the highway. They were attractive in
summer and their LEAKAGE furnishes
some shade. Mr. st. John of Santa Bar
bara gave the experience of planting
foreets of eucalyptus trees in Lompoc
valley. which was not only profitable for
wood. but induced better rainfall. The
general expression of the convention
| was favorable to planting trees along
public roads
ROAD LAWS DISCUSSED
The new road laws were, by request,
read to the convention by Mr.. Hender-
son of San Joaquin. The new estray law
| was also read. A general discussion fol-
lowed, resulting in full comprehension
| of the laws. The new Alameda" road
| law was briefly discussed and generally
condemned.
GENERAL TOPICS
Under this caption various subjects OF
interest to the supervisors and their
general work were discussed.
