where. The inspector Of the depart

cided that as the best is none too
good for Maine people, the said peo-
pie should not be obliged to pay their

because they found that someone
had been mixing nuts of the 1917
vintage with the 1919 product and
charging up a right smart price. The
consignment was of English walnuts,
from Italy. The shipments were
traced from Portland and in some
cases before the packages had been

that Zach is a teamster who tunes

difficulties into which the trio get
may well be imagined. But for all

MUNICIPAL CONTROL OF TREES
Example Set by Newark, N. j., Might
Well Be Copied Throughout
the Country.

What municipal control of shade
trees can do may best be illustrated
by what 1t has done; and as we have
first-hand knowledge Of what it has
done in Newark, says an exchange,
we may be pardoned for citing the
experience of that town-though it is
our own. In 1904 Newark, acting un-
der a state law, created a shade-tree
commission. To this body (of three
members) was committed the "exclu
sive and absolute control and power
to plant, set out, maintain, protect
and care for shade trees in any of the
public highways of the municipality
In 1905 supplementary law trans
ferred to the commissions control the
care and improvement of "the public
parks belonging to the municipality
or any department in the government
thereof" In 1905 the commission was
empowered "to pass, enact, alter,
amend and repeal ordinances for the
protection, regulation and control OF
highways" of the city. And now,
briefly, what has come OF this!
1t at once raised the status of the
then existent street trees. These fine
old stately growths which had come
down to us out Of the past from the
fathers, but which for so long had
been strangers to considerable treat
ment, were now seen to be set apart
as objects of governments special
care, as wards of municipal depart
ment specially created to care for and
protect them, and empowered to en-
force considerable treatment of them.
Here was the germ of what has since
unfolded into public sentiment
which had not heretofore existed-a
new and unique sentiment in favor
of the trees, that goes on increasing.
