Commission WILL
CONVERT NEWARK
into SHADED PARK
Will Spend $50, 900 for Trees
TO Be Distributed in Many
Sections.

secretary SdIl DdllIlNdTl, VI Lie
Shade Tree Commission, has made pub
lie a list of the sections of Newark to
which he intends to devote his atten-
ton during the annual spring planting
of trees now beginning. Mr.. Bann-
wart declares that the department will
set u more trees this year than ever
before, as it has $4,000 to do it
with, and hopes to have the work
completed not later than Decoration
Day. The spraying of trees, he de-
clares, will begin in less than three
weeks.
There are also a number of parking
s~trips-plots down the centre of a
thoroughfare which will be made pretty
and green with grass and shrubbery
besides serving as a place for planting
~trees-which Mr.. Bannwart plans to
beautify this year. These are princi-
pally in the southern section of the
city: He said:
"They are located on Seymour ave-
nue. and Chadwick venue between
Hawthorne and Renner avenues; on
Meeker and Custer avenues, between
Elizabeth and Peshine avenues; or
Pomona, Vassar and Goldsmith ave-
nues, between Elizabeth avenue and
Clinton place. and on Belmont avenue,
between Madison and Avon avenues
Park Fountain.
Another thing we have to look out
for is that park fountain we have ar
ranged to put in Lincoln Park. We
will have that in by Arbor Day, I
expect.
"Then there is that plaza for the
Court House. We will have to have
thai fixed up before Decoration Day.
for the Lincoln statue is to be installed
there at that time.
Here is that list of streets we are
going to plant this spring. / can't say
positively that this list Is accurate,
because We may have to change our
plans to suit conditions. But as far
as l can see at present it is where
the principal work will be DONE"
