Want Trees Trimmed.
Some six or seven years ago a move
ment started by the North Side
Civic club to beautify North Kansas
avenue from Gordon street to Garfleld
park. A day was set aside by the
club, and the business houses closed
their doors for a half day, while the
proprietorS and clerks helped to plant
young elm trees on both sides OF the
parking on Kansas avenue north from
Gordon street.
Most of these trees flourished and
are now priced highly in the summer
for the abundance of shade which
they give; but there is one thing lack
ing to make the trees as beautiful as
they should be, and that is the lack of
trimming. A number of persons are
complaining because the city does not
sent a force of men to North Topeka
and do this work.
