EXPERT EXAMINES
CITY PARK TREES
Finds Their Condition Is
Above Average-Words
of Praise for Glen.

The trees In Richmond's parks are
in better condition than those in the
average parks in this state.
This is the verdict OF w. c.. Kip
linger of the Capital Forestry COM
pany OF Indianapolis. who has been in
specting the trees in the city parks
at the instigation OF Park Superinten-
dent Hollern. Mr.. Kiplinger has made
a hurried~ inspection but he says that
he noticed few defects in the trees.
The trimming of green branches
and limbs during August should be
prohibited he says. This is being
done by permits issued by the board
Of public works. and according to
Kiplinger 1t saps the life Of the trees.
He says that dead branches should be
removed from the trees as soon as
they are noticed but that green bran
ches. should net -be removed during
this month.
Another thing which Kiplinger says
is existing in this city and which
should not be permitted Is the butch
ering OF the trees by the public SER
vice corporations. He says that they
stretch their wires through the lirabs
of the trees and trim the trees 80 that
the branches will not interfere or
come In contact with the wires. This
weakens the vitality of the trees. He
says that he has noticed this deplor-
able condition more in Starr park, or
North Tenth street, than in any other
place in the city. e. ,.. ....
Kiplinger advises that cavities in
trees be filled 80 that proper drainage
can be given them instead Of the &C.
ment filling method. He says that In
Glen Miller park he noticed quite
few cavities. but that little work
would put them into proper condition.
That Glen Miller 10 one Of the fin
est parks he has noticed In the state
10 another complimentary statement
which he makes. He declared that
Glen Park has the making of one of
the best parks In the country. owing
to the rolling ground. the number o.
large trees and the water facilities.
Kiplinger will return to this city
during the first part Of September
and probably will be employed by the
board Of works to do some surgical
work on the park trees.
