the proposed increase Of the registry fee
from S 10 10 cents will result I'm an in
crease OF about sl.0oo,0O0 a year in the

mate is made Of the assumption that the
volume Of the registry business will not
decrease under the higher rate. Even IL
the business should decrease, a saving
would be made. because il now is being
operated at a serious loss.

We have been unable to understand why the
people in some of our state towns fail to
appreciate the beauty OF shade trees, why appar-
emily upon the slightest provocaton for orc pur-
pose or another they permit ruthless hands to
be laid upon leautiful shade trees which are
the ornaments and delights of town.
And yet ia some towns shade trees are cut
and slashci and streets arc dishgured for the
purpose Of making Improvements. We hope
that the good people Of Dover will halt anv
proposed destruction of trees if there is any pos
sible way to prevent such desecration, for the
wanton running Of trees is nothing less than a
dcsecration. No improvement can take the place
of beautiful and stately trees in a rural COM
munity.
How carefully cities prize their shade trees and
how lightly they are regarded in some towns.
