THE ROADSIDE TREE LAW
Its Provisions But Slightly Affected by
Recent Legislation.

At its last legislative session the
MARYLAND General Assembly enacted an
amendment to the States roadside tree
law as passed by the previous Legisla-
ture. This amendment carried minor
modification of the Statewide law that
trees belonging within public rights-of-
way shall be handled as such, not cut
down or Unfortunately trimmed to
satisfy the within of anyone who hap
pens to object to their being beside the
roadway, whether the objector were
the abutting householder, profess
slonal trimmer, or someone whose wires
were IN the way of the trees.
The exception states that trees
standing within the right-of-way of
unimproved public roads which have not
been surfaced with either stone, shell,
gravel, concrete, brick, asphalt, or
other improved surface NAV be cut
down and removed by the abutting land
owner for his own use without first
obtaining a permit" This passage,
taken verbatim from the Law, defines
clearly and exactly the only change
made by the Legislature of 1916 since
its passage by the body of 1914. This
exception was inserted at the instance
of the Board of Forestry, which must
enforce the law.
Since the enactment of this measure
practically the only objection disin-
teresdly raised by anyone who has wit
messed it in application has occurred
over the protection accorded trees
shading unimproved highways These
latter, of course, seldom traverse the
most popular districts, being in con-
sequence not, heavily travelled and
their appearance more a matter of local
than general concern. People residing
beside them must therefore look to
their appearance, and the Amendment
places the trees of the abutting land
owners altogether in his hands, for his
own use. The trees lining such roads
are very frequently of nearly valueless
specimens and SPECIES, often as well be-
ing so placed along the narrow roads
that occasionally they interfere with
the operations of adjoining farmers.
Those favoring greater latitude in the

also to have the bars let down, various

revisions and exceptions which were

been dropped, those who had originally
interesteted themselves in securing the
Roadside Tree Law for the State de-
cided that the above given modification
of this Act most nearly met the sltua-
ton from all sides, safely and salts
factorily.
This change cannot detract in the
slightest from the proper shading of
largely travelled, improved highways,
though at the same time it gives to
such landowners as may have property
rights alongside unimproved highways
authority to themselves remove forth
with any offending shade trees, for
their own use. At the same time the
public, along any oadway-improved
or unimproved, macadamized or dirt
will continue to be thoroughly protect
ed IN the matter of its shade trees from
the operations of persons, not the own
ers, who for personal reasons might de-
stroy or damage public shade trees.
This is a slight change in a modern,
constructive piece of legislation, passed
for the good of the State as whole,
enforced since Its enactment for the
direct welfare of the public. This
amendment will be a further aid to it's
more general understanding, enforce
