the dispatches from Rome have made
It very clear that it intends to do

THE VALUE OF CITY TREES.

The special park commission Of
Chicago gave in q bulletin a reason
for good care OF leafy assets and for
planting more. 1.-THE commercial
value of tho tree should appeal to
and esthetic value. The real estate
man knows that tree-bordered street
means high-class property. which
grows in value with the growth OF the
tree. Trees are inviting and encour-
aging to outdoor life. 1t Is partly Tor
this advantage that those who have
the means seek homes in the suburbs
and farther in the country. There
they can enjoy trees In their native
splendor and NIL their lungs with the
pure oxygen generated by the album
dance Of plant life"
Trees conserve the health and life
Of the residents Of our overcrowdsd
cities. w. A. Murrill. in a bulletin is
sued by Cornell university. states:
Trees add to the healthfulness OF q
city by cooling and purifying the air.
Besides cutting of the direct and re-
Elected rays Of the sun. foliage by
evaporating large quantities OF water
from it's surface, exercises q marked
effect on tho temperature. Tho reduc-
ton Of the temperature in this way Ii
greatest on dry, hot days when such
reduction Is most needed. Leaves also
absorb impure and hurtful gases and
manufacture oxygen needed by hui
mans for respiration. Circulation of
the air. cue to unequal temperature
is likewise promoted by trees properly
pruned and arranged; while tho air OF
Easements and cellars is rendered less
humid by the removal Of surplus wa
ter from the surrounding soil through
the medium Of roots and foliage"
In some Of our large cities trees,
instead Of being beneficial to the COM
munity, through neglect and 1gno-
rance, degenerate to a source OF In
jury to the public. For instance. In
Chicago the special park commission
reports that there are more than 5000
dead trees standing in tho streets OF
Chicago at the present time. In addi-
ton there are even a larger number
Of trees that are partly dead ana bad
Nv in need Of trimming. The dead
trees are liable to fall at any time.
especially in q windstorm, making
them a source of d-nger to passersby.
They also afford excellent breeding
places for injurious insect and fungus
pests, which multiply on these dead
trees and branches, from which they
are carried to the living trees. where
they continue in their destructive
work.
The lack of municipal control has
permitted street trees to suffer from
carelessness of citizens, who have mu-
tilated trees by bad trimming and by
collision with vehicles, used them for
hitching posts, allowing their half-fed
horses to bite, gnaw and tear on the
bark.
Here is work for the local thrift
committees which are now organizing
on the plan of President S. w. Strauss
of the American Society for Thrift.
where in every town and city in the
United states, these committees are at
work. 1t is to the interest Of every
good citizen to care for the trees
around his own house and on his own
street, thereby adding to the general
appearance of he city as well as to
the value Of his property.
