through. Sometimes it goes directly
into the earth and to the roots of the
trees. In other cases it first reaches
the sidewalk and then drains down
to the earth. In front of many stores
one can see the salt remaining on
the pavement where the salt water
has drained from these containers"
Mr.. Lanham said the ice cream
manufacturers attention was called
several years ago to the fact that
many trees had been killed from salt
