PLANTING ROAD TREES.
Timely Suggestions offered by Prof
+. A. Waugh, of the Vermont
Experiment station.

The distance between trees in the row
will be influenced somewhat by the
width of the street. In wide street,
where there is room enough for the full
development of each tree, they will be
planted further apart. If the street is
wide enough, the trees should always
stand between the walk and the curb.
1t is wide enough IL, from curb to curb,
the width is one and half times the
distance recommended for the trees in
the rows. On narrower street, trees
should stand between the walk and the
buildings or should be dispensed with.
There are many beautiful streets in this
country which support four rows of
trees. Such streets should have the
central avenue twice as wide as the dis.
tance between trees in the row; and the
distance between the two rows on

The LanyOn Co. Taxes,

The Lanyon Zinc company is un-
doubtly one of the heaviest tax payers
in the county, as it owns valuable
factory properly, considerable land
and many gas leases. The total
amount of the taxes which they will
pay this year is $3,854,6l. In round
numbers this means an assessed valua,
ton of about 100000 and a'real value
of several times that. Add to this
the thousands OF dollars worth ofspel'
ter piled up at the plants and 1t would
seem, really, as II the state charter
board might seriously consider that
that the company had some assets t.
show.

either side should be somewhat less

The American elm is doubtless the
commonest street tree in America. II
has many undeniably good qualities to
recommend il. And yet there are seri-
Gus objections to the elm as a street
tree, besides the fact that ii Is often de-
foliated by caterpillars of various spe-
ces, as, indeed, are many other trees.
The elm varies greatly in size and form,
and 1t is almost impossible to find long
street of old elms which does not suffer
from the sad neglect of uniformity
which this variability introduces. The
elm is also one of the least formal Of
our trees, and so detracts from the unity
OF the geometrical idea in street plant
ing. 1t would be silly 10 advise planters
to discard the elm altogether; but II
will not be too much to suggest that
some other species should always be
duly considered.

very tidy appearance through the win.
