PROPERTY OWNERS
WANT A WALK
Manufacturer Objects to
Danger of Killing Beau
tiful Trees.

The members of the south Side I'M
provements association, who are to
meet next Wednesday at the Wallace
school building, expect to take a de-
cided stand against the proposition to
build the walk on the north side of the.
street. opposite the Conkey plant, next
30 the curb instead or along the prop-
w. B. Conkey opposes the building Of
the walk on the property line for the
reason that he would have to move a
row of maple trees which he saw fit to
plant just outside the property line
The South Side Improvement associa-
tion expects to have the opinion of an
expert landscape gardener to prove
that trees of. that size can be moved
with positively no danger of killing
them. In fact trees of twice that size
have been successfully moved, accord
ing to those who have investigated the
subject.
The purpose OF this movement is to
prevent a gross error in city building
such as was perpetrated on South
Holman street, where the appearance
of the street was ruined by jogging
walks. There is no more monstrou
piece of street planning in the state OF
Indiana than Holman street consid-
ering its possibilities.
It is for the purpose of avoiding a
similar error that the matter is to be
taken up at the meeting of the South
Side Improvement association next
Wednesday.
An appeal will be made to w. B.
Conkeys public spiritedness to induce
him to move the trees in question and
build the walk back on the lot line.
where lie should be built.
Ernest G. Froderstrom of the firm of
Cole & Meinersman, Chicago landscape
architects, is of the opinion that 1t
would be safe and easy to move the
trees in front of the Conkey plant, but
he is of the opinion that the work
ought to be delayed until fail.
