MAY SAVE CIIY'S
OLD SHADE TREES
Park Commission Frowns ON
Plan to Chop Down
Sylvan Landmarks

OAKLAND, July 22.-Park Commits
sioner James P. Edor made q vigorous
protest against the cutting down Of
shade trees in the city at a meeting
this afternoon of the park commission.
An application from W. d. Huntington,
representing the Peralta apartment com
panY. called forth the commissioners re-
monstrances against the practice which
has been but little hampered.
Huntington applied for permission TO
remove from Thirteenth and Jackson
streets three old maple trees which
are landmarks in the neighborhood- So
vehemently did Edon oppose the permit
that the commission refused to act
until Edoff had inspected the trees
and reported to his two associates.

missioner Edoff, ARE the finest trees
in the city It would be detrimental
to allow any person TO remove lin b
from them. wish at once TO put
myself on record as against the cut
ting down OF the trimming OF trees
without the sanction OF Park Superin-
tendent Lamond."
The commission by resolution called
upon City Engineer Turner to draw up
plans and specifications for an asphalt
street to bisect the Lakeside park,
which lies at the upper end OF Lake
Merritt. The city engineer has OBJ
jected to an asphalt street because Of
the expense entailed in its construc-
ton.
For the development Of the same
park the commission decided 10 divide
the land in FIVE acre tracts. the divi-
sions to be improved separately as
early as possible.
A contract was awarded 10 the Pied
mont paving company TO supply loan
for the East Shore lake park at A
cents per square foot Bids were re-
ceived for the laying of sidewalks in
the East Side park, the lowest being
submitted by II. F. Sorenson at 10 cents
