DYING OUT OF THE PINES.
Park and Tree Commission to Begin
Removing Them From the Park.

-
Removing Them From the Park.
The Park and Tree Commission is about
to begin the work of removing the dead
pines in Forsyth Park. There are nine of
these dead trees and when they have been
removed there will be only forty-seven
pines left in the park. A few years ago
there were nearly zoo
The storms of 1898 and 1895 destroyed
many of the pines and those left have
since been gradually dying out. The
sion are unable to account for the death
of the pines. The trees do not seem to
be affected with any particular disease or
to be the victim of any parasite. 1t was
noticed that apparently healthy trees de-
stroyed by the storms sometimes contain
as much as forty or fifty feet of punk,
indicating that probably all the trees
were similarly effected. The members of
the Park and Tree Commission would like
persons who are interested in trees to in
spect the dead pines when they are cut
down to see If they can furnish any idea
as TO the cause of the decay.
Chairman Stone of the commission has
theory of his own about the matter.
The pine tree" said DR.. Stone, is a
jealous tree. 1t viii not flourish in COM
pany with other trees. You will always
see the pines growing on the edge of the
forest. As soon as other trees commence
to crowd the pines the latter begin to die
out. The oaks and other trees of stronger
vitality take away all the nourishment
from the pines. In few years there will
be no pines left in the park"
AS the tall pines have been for years
one of the features of Forsyth Park all
admirers of the park will regret TO learn
of their gradual disappearance Chair

The experiment would not cost much and
might have good results. The pine trees

ton of the city in allowing Reynolds street
to be used as the outlet forsthe new sewer
system under the contract with Messrs
Rourke & Mitchell. An ordinance was pass
ed on Feb. l providing for this outlet, and
it appears that work has begun on that
portion of the proposed sewer.
Mr.. Screven claims right to the use of
wharf at the foot of Reynolds street for
his ferry. right which is equal to a leg

up of the street in the first place. and the
occupancy of the wharf with dirt and ma
terials Will seriously interfere with the
traffic on the ferry; and in
the second place, he claims that
the sewer itself will be. on ac-
count of its stencil, and resultant bad
health, a more serious interference.
AS the result of his petition, Judge Fall
ligant granted a temporary injunction. re-
straining the city from opening the street
to the wharf for sewer purposes, and from
doing any further work in that direction
at present. The question upon the appli-
cation for injunction will come up before
Judge Falligant on Saturday, Feb. p. for
hearing and at that date 1t must be shown
by the city why the injunction should not

is KILLING THE TREES.
Alderman Davis Opinion of the Park
and Tree Commisslons Work.

Alderman Davis, chairman OF the street
and lane committee. says that the Park
and Tree Commission is killing the trees.
At the meeting Of Council last night the
Alderman called attention to the fact that
the commission is trimming the trees and
piling the debris up In the squares. "They
are leaving the debris for the street and
lane committee to move" he said.
1.-THE Park and Tree Commission is alb
soutely cutting the trees to pieces" said
Alderman Davis. They are not trimming
them. They are cutting them up and COW
eriug the squares with the debris. The
commission has its own teams and should
move it's own debris"
The consensus of opinion among the al
dermen seemed to be that the commission
should move its own debris though there
was no official expression or action on
this matter.
