hy District Officials

Proposed Engine House Site Inspected
by District officials.
The lot on Congress Heights which is Of
fered free Of cost to the District by A. E.
Randle for the construction of a fire en-
gine house was inspected yesterday by R.
w. Dutton. chief engineer of the fire de-
partment. and John B. Brady, inspector Of
buildings. Both officers expressed them
selves as well satisfied with the location Of
the lot. 1t is on the brow Of the hill on the
main road. which would give the depart
ment a down-hill run in either direction
The only objection which can be made to
the site is its profile. The sleping of the
lot will cause an extra expense for founda-
ton. Inspector Brady has written the En-
gineer Commissioner asking that a survey
be made. He will then draw tentative
plans for the building and ascertain the
exact amount Of the extra cost for founda-
ton.
An appropriation was made by the last
Congress of $25OO0 for a new building and
furniture. with the understanding that the
site was to be donated.

Results of Resettfng Curbs.

Results of Resettfng Curbs.
Eight hundred and twenty-one trees were
for various reasons removed from the
streets; very many of these were killed by
the resetting of curbing. Unfortunately,
in the prosecution of this work the largest
and finest trees usually suffer the most,
having the largest root development. In
cases where this work is contemplated on
streets planted with large trees, particu-
larly where grade Is to be changed cOnsid
erably, it would often be better, from an
economic and aesthetic standpoint, to re-
move the trees entirely and replace them
when the sidewalk was relaid. This would
often permit the trees to be more evenly
spaced, and sometimes the planting Of a
more desirable variety.
The young trees planted on the streets
thus treated, growing under similar condi-
tions, would present a more uniform ap-
pearance than when planted here and there
among the existing old ones. In all cases
trees should receive trimming commen-
surate with their root mutilation, and the
sooner this is done after the pavement is
laid the better
Among those removed because of street
alterations were 10 from G street north
west between 9th and 18th streets, IL from
9th street between F and G streets north
west, % from d street between 9th and
18th streets northeast, IL from G street
between 9TH and 9Th streets northwest, 15
from street between sd and 34th streets
and East Capitol streets southeast, 10 from
9Th street between d and E streets north
west, from Tennessee avenue between B
street and Lincoln Park.
During the year no wire netting for the
protection of trees from horses was pur-
chased and as resulting sequence scores
of young trees have been seriously injured
and In many cases irrevocably ruined
Trees, particularly of the soft-wooded va
rieties, once badly gnawed by horses, soon
begin to decay at the place Of damage and
the rotting continues until the inside Of
the trees become hollow shell. There
are several thousands of trees in the city
approaching this condition, particularly
soft naples and Carolina poplars, and ea-
perience has shown that horse-eaten trees
are the worst sufferers during the annual
autumnal storms.
Three hundred and seventy trees were
wired by using the old wires taken from
trees removed, and the greater portion Of
the city was gone over and wire readjust-
ed to accommodate the increased growth
CT the trees"
