WRITES ABOUT
STREET. TREES
Professor Jepson Describes
How Judgment Should Be
Used in Their Placing
IMPORTATION OF VALUE
Pamphlet Tells How CalifOr-
MAS Cities and Towns Can
BE Made More Beautiful

The California Promotion Comittee has
issued a pamphlet entitled Street Trees
in California, written by Willis L. Jep-
son. Ph. D., Professor of Botany, Uni
versity Of California, which promises to
be of great value to cities and towns
of the State.
From the standpoint of both the indi-
vidual ond the community" says Prof
Jepson, who has given special study to
this subject, there is no other asset
that can be put upon the land of muni-
cipal and agricultural California so VAL
liable as trees. And there is particular
need for planting trees in what is prac-
tcally waste land, the curb-lines OF
streets and the sides of county roads.
Such trees, properly planted and per-
sistently cared for, are valuable to all
as well to one for several good reasons.
AS purely commercial matter 1t is now
we'll known that street or road trees
increase property values. Authenticated
cases are at hand where naked farm
land of superior value has sold at less
price than inferior land fronted by lines
of roadside trees. And this difference is,
to certain extent, justified because In
these days of increasing wood scarcity,
trees have in themselves a great value.
AS a matter of comfort, too, street trees
are a boon in land where for five or
six months cloudless skies prevail
The pamphlet calls attention to certain
rules or canons which are everywhere
applicable to the selection, arrangement
and planting of trees on street and eoun-
ty roads and is of great value to the
numerous tree-planting clubs which have
recently come into existence.
Deciduous trees, evergreen trees and
palms are the three classes recommended
for general use. A list of deciduous
trees, with the advantages and disad-
Vantages of each as a street tree. takes
up many pages of the pamphlet.
Good advice in the way of Special
Reminders is given in conclusion, tell
ing how planting should be done and
giving advice for the care and protection
of the tree thereafter.
This is one of many handbooks pub
nshed by the California Promotion Com
mittee but is looked upon by it as one
of Importance. Those interested in tree
planting should not neglect to send for

EASTERN STEEL
SEEMS BRITTLE
Beams Sent Here for the Con-
struction of Mail Dock
Condemned by Commission
WILL HAVE NEW VESSEL
Another Ferry-Boat Similar
to the General Mcdowell
Is Coming From Seattle

Chief Engineer Lott D. Norton report
ed to the Harbor Commissioners yester-
day that thirteen of the steel beams
sent here from the East for the new
Mail Dock were cracked and that the
indications are that the remainder of the
175 are brittle.
George w. Dickie, who was called in
by Norton as an expert, recommended
that the entire lot be subjected to the
drop test This is strenuously objected
to by Milliken Brothers, local agents
of the firm that supplied the steel. They
maintain that the specifications call for
the Carnegie test and that If the drop
test is used it must be done at the risk
of the Harbor Commissioners.
Commissioner Henry J. Croker sug-
gested that the best way out of the di-
lemma would be to condemn the entire
lot and that such action would be with
in the limits of the specifications. Chief
Engineer Norton agreed with Crocker
and after some discussion the board ac-
Quiesced. The engineer was told to
make a full report at the next meeting
Milliken Brothers maintain that the
cracks in the thirteen pieces of steel
were caused by the way they were
packed on the steamer In which they
were conveyed to this coast. They as
sert that the Carnegie test would be
sufficient to prove the strength of the
remaining beams. George w Dickie,
however, maintains that the Carnegie
test is inadequate in this instance, as
that test will not prove the resistance
of the beams against jars. He believes
that 1t will not be safe to use the beams
unless they have been proved by the
drop test. which consists of raising the
beams on end to an angle of twenty
five degrees and letting them drop.
The United States Government will
soon have another ferry-boat on the
bay similar to the Mcdowell. The new
boat is called the Lieutenant George M.
Harris. 1t will be brought from Seattle
In a few weeks. Lieutenant w. c. Wren,
u. s. A, has applied for dock for the
Government ferry boat near to and north
of the ferry landing. The application
was referred to the Chief Wharfinger.
