MUNICIPAL NURSERY NEEDED
NOW GROWN ON BoR-
RoWED GROUNDS.
90, FOG Shade Trees Are Planted in
the District-Increase Over
Last Year.

There are at the present time o. 706
shade trees in the District OF Columbia
OF this number $3.50 were planted during
the fiscal year ended June 30.
This information is contained in the
annual report submitted to the Commits
sfoners today by Trueman Lanham, SUI
perintendent Of parking.
During that period 2O42 trees were re-
moved. representing forty-four separate
varieties. There is, therefore, a net in
crease of 755 trees in the aggregate num-
Der.
Planted last year. the most popular
species with the department, was the
pin oak. A total of S4S pin oak trees were
planted. There were also planted 637
Norway NAPLES. AT sycamores, 275 sugar
NAPLES, 3d. silver naples, POI lindens, 35S
elms, 1O4 gingkos. Is pyramidal oaks,
and red oaks.
Much of the planting was for the pur-
pose of filing vacancies in existing rows.
The large majority Of trees were used to
extend lines into the suburbs and hitherto
implanted locations. A large number Of
lindens were planted on Massachusetts,
avenue extended. Chevy Chase received
elms, Norway naples and pin oaks.
Supt. Lanham urges the Commission
ers to establish a permanent municipal
nursery. Both existing nurseries are on
borrowed ground. Ono is on the Wash
ington Asylum ground and the other on
the grounds OF the Tuberculosis Hospital
in Bright wood.
Supt. Lanl,am says the institutions
controlling these tracts are continual
ly requesting the REIMBURSEMENT of
stocked with valuable trees. Enforced
abandonment Of either would mean the
destruction Of growths which could not
| be replaced within twelve years, Mr.. Lam
ham contends.
lie believes that all the larger trees in
the city should be trimmed once a year.
To do THE an extra appropriation will be
necessary. BY this means only can the
department hore to keep them in good
condition.
There are large number of unhealthy
trees which, he contends, should be top
ped" in order to save them. Although
topping Is unpopular and many pro-
tests are registered against it, experience
has taught Mr. Lanham that 1t is the
only practical treatment Of trees in an
extremely unhealthy state.
To top these trees and remove such as
are beyond treatment. he wants an ap-

Second Assistant Postmaster General
Joseph Stewart. whose appointment from

master General yesterday afternoon. has
not yet received his commission from

not yet taken the oath Of office.
Mr.. Stewart stated to a Star reporter
this morning that he was especially graft

without solicitation on the part Of either
himself or his friends. He was inclined
to believe that his work AS associate
counsel in transportation cases which
had come before the Court Of Claims and
the United States Supreme Court in the
past few years. and in which he has been
generally successful, may have had
something to do with his selection
