the sweet beans, endangering the WIN
dows of neighboring houses and the lives
of passing pedestrians. Besides, the as
sembling of these gangs au all hours of
the day, particularly on Sundays, is an
intolerable nuisance and makes the
neighborhood disreputable.
"As the police department appears to
be entirely incompetent to deal with the
matter, l have the honor to request, as
the only remaining method of abating the
nuisance, that you cause the trees in
question to be cut down"
The letter was referred to Truman
Lanham, the superintendent of parking,
who reported that the tree in front of
premises is a young one, with only few
pods on it. He states that the older
trees on the street are full of the bean
pods and are Objectionable. No more of
these trees are being planted, and Su-
perintendent Lanham does not think it
advisable to remove the trees as request
ed, as there are several hundred of them
and some of them are quite large. He
has suggested that the attention of the
police department be called to the matter.
The recommendations of the superinten-
dent have been approved by William P.
Richards, the assistant engineer of the
District, Engineer Commissioner Beach,
and President Wight, of the Board of
Commissioners.
