Work on Public School Grounds.

Our Street Commissioner Avent
has taken a step towards street
Improvement which should APP
peal very strongly to every citizen
of oxford. The Public School
grounds, while spiendidly located
and at one time very attractive
with stately elms, have in the
past few years suffered from a
furious attack of forest tree
diseases The school was fortu-
nate recently in having Prof.
Mckay of the A. and NJ. College,
draw plans for beautifying the
grounds and it is hsre that Mr.
Avent is lending very substantial
assistance 10 the local school
committee in executing the plans.
Already a hedge has been plant
ed arounds the ground and plans
are made for planting shad trees
ard placing flowing fountains.
Onespatrionc lady of the city has
presented several pecan trees 10
the school and these with a fine
grated Stewart paper shall pecan
presented by the 10Th grade will
soon be set. The value OF the
wor:s row being done cannot De
over estimated and many expires.
sions of appreciation arS6eing to
the city commissioners who are
50 cordially cooperating.
