5000 TREES TOBE
PLANTED THISFALL

Outlining the need OF a permanent
tree nursery for the District and
stating that planting Of trees in
Washington has fallen on during the
past year, due to high cost and
scarcity OF labor, Clifford 7. Lanham,
superintendent Of trees and parks,
today submitted his annual report
to the District Commissioners.
Mr.. Lanham says that the District
lost two tree nurseries during the
past year and that the deprtment Is
now occupying q site known as Fort
Dupont, obtained from the Govern
ment, but permission TO use this
ground Is revocable at win. A lot OF
time was devoted last year TO trans
feFring trees from the old nursery to
Fort Dupont, which necessarily re-
duced the work on tree planting.
The department now has plans for
the planting OF more than 5000 trees
this fall, the report says.
