rad is superior to that on any other
road in New Jersey under similar con-
ditions. 1t lie common knowledge that
the street rail ways in all the resorts Of
our State are having great difficulty to
continue operation. The Atlantic City
road is in the hands of a receiver, and
the Asbury Park road reports 3 very
substsnt ial loss for the year 1918. In
Cape May City and Sea Isle City the
roads have been abandoned, and the
Ocean City road will not be operated
even during the coming summer, IN
less under some plan OF municipal OF
Grafton or support.
The above shows more clearly than
anything that l can add the true con-
dition regarding the street railways at
our New Jersey seashore resorts. 1t is
my sincere hope that none of the fills,
which have befallen the other sea-hore
roads mentioned above, may happen
to US. | have felt, however, that a
statement of the exact condition was
due to the people of Five Mile Beach.
In a word, that condition is, hat I'M
lees we can have a substantial increase
in our business, we shall be obliged to
ask for a further fare increase. L sim
cerely hope that this will not be neces-
sary, as l believe the best interests of
the community and our company will
be Sc we'd by keeping the fare at the
present rate.

TO NEW JERSEY BOY SCOUTS

In connection with the proposal for
nation-wS'e tree planting by the Boy
Scouts 81 America in memory of Theo-
.dore Roosevelt, 1 am writing to offer the
fullest cooperation Of this Department
to make New JERSEYS part as effective
and general as can be.
Some suggestions are made below.
It is also hoped that you will not fail
to call on us for further suggestions and
for specific advice and help.
l.. In many communities of the
State there are organized Shade Tree
Commissions. Where these exist any
plan should be worked out with their
cooperation to conform to the general
work of this sort already laid out.
2. Where no organization exists.
plans for street or park planting should
have the approval of the municipal Of
ficer or body in charge Of such work
locally.
8. Be sure your selection of species
and ages fits the particular conditions
involved. Some species OF trees are
suitable for one purpose and others TO
another. Certain species require one
sort Of site, others need different condi-
tons. The same tree is not best for
both street and park planting or for
wide avenues and narrow streets.
A. Few If any trees set out and then
left to themselves will do we'll. Most
if SO treated will die. Provision must
always be made for their protection and
care. For memorial purposes especial
ly this is absolutely essential, since
their failure from neglect would be un-
~pardonable.
5. Planting up a street block or
grove in a park or a specific stretch OF
country road is far preferable to scatter
ed individual trees If more than one
is to be set out.
6. Planting stock used should be &C.
cured through some reliable firm deal
ing in trees and not at some especial
saIen or In a haphazard way. A list of
reliable tree nursery-men will be fur
nished if desired.
The Departments publication "A
Shade Tree Guide'' tells how, when and
where to plant shade trees and how to
care for them. 1t will be sent you upon
request. The States force of trained
foresters is limited, but so far as time
and funds permit, they will be glad to
give advice on the ground If requested.
The planting season is at hand and
plans for this spring must be made
without delay, If suitable tree are to be
secured and set out at the right time.
