But there is another side to the

streets with but a narrow green rib

way does not in the>least influence the

be said for II Is that street trees may
be planted therein, though they can
not remain IN vigorous health and
beauty except for their youthful years.
1t may be possible for a tree to sur
vive for many years under such hard

should be most impressive. The
