PLEASED BY TREE
PLANTING DISPUTE
Hillside Club Members Believe
Controversy Will Be Cause
of Benefit to Berkeley

BERKELEY, Nov. 6.-The Hillside
club. the organization of residents of
northeastern Berkeley, has taken the
liveliest interest in the controversy be-
tween Architect A. w. Smith and Prof.
w. l.. Jepson as to the kind of trees
which should be planted in the streets
of this city. In a statement given to
the press today by the clubs commit
tee on tree plantingsit is said that such
controversy viii be a great gain to
the community
1t has long been the wish of the club.
according to the statement of the COM
mittee, that such a controversy should
needs of the city in the way of trees
and the Importance of an effective but
simple manner of beautifying the
streets.
The club does not recommend trees
that may be best adapted to one par
ticular section as suitable for another.
But uniformity in planting in the vari-
Gus districts is the one thing the club
is working hardest to accomplish.
Professor Jepson in his handbook on
Street Trees in California" gives some
suggestions as to uniformity He says
that all trees planted on given
street should be one species and one
only, planted in both sides of the street
in straight lines" and this the club has
recommended to all hOuseholders in the
hillside section
The clubs committee states that an
inspection of the North Berkeley sec
tlon viii reveal some curious phases of
tree planting. In one block three en-
thuslastic residents owning adjoining
property have planted pa Inns, peppers
ana naples; another owner has four
varieties of trees in front of his so foot
lot In order to secure uniformity the
club is trying to induce property own
ers to cooperate with their neighbors
The club has a fund set aside for the
purpose@of purchasing trees to be given
TO owners who are not sufficiently in
terested in the movement to plant trees
or whose financial condition makes
planting an impossibility at this time.
by this means the club hopes to ac-
complish much in the way of civic
Identification.
