The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1920-02-06

At the meeting of the Commercial
Club last Thursday evening much dis
cussion was INDUCED in over the plant
ing of trees along the public streets
and by the time the question was
threshed out the club went on record
by setting aside a sum of money for
the purchase Of trees to be planted
out on improved streets and properly
cared for.
Some of the speakers harked back
to the time, some years ago when
the ladies of the Civic League in their
zeal for the improvement of the town
purchased and had planted young
trees from the railroad to the south
end of town along both sides of the
main travelled street, and also along
Central avenue and other streets on
the north side of the track.
1t was pointed out that not single
one Of these trees are alive today.
and the question naturally arose, do
people themselves desire the streets
beautified with shade trees? 1t can
we'll be remembered that few people
displayed any particular interest in
keeping alive the trees that public
spirited women went to the trouble
and expense of procuring and plant
ing, and doubt was expressed in the
meeting that people really desired
such improvement. The concensus OF
opinion among those present, however
was in favor of trying the experiment
over.
1t does not require any bright i'm
agination to picture what Oroville
would look like today had trees been
generally planted out and cared for
ten years ago, or even if those trees
set out by the ladies of the Civic
League has been coaxed to survive by
the application of proper amount
of water and care. Here and there
about town, where property owner;
have taken sufficient pride to plant
trees, and nurse them along until they
were large enough to take care o.
themselves there are object lessons
showing what Transformation the
addition Of shade trees make in thu
appearance of street. What those

J. l.. Billingsley, state commander
OF the American Legion, has named
August II, Is ard 10 as the period for
three-day push for new members.
Florida's representation at the ma
tional convention will> depend upon
the success of this push. There are
only 5000 members enrolled In the
state; at least $4,000 are needed to
give Florida the representation 1t
should have in the national meeting.
Post commanders throughout the
state have been requested to call spe-
cial meetings at once and arrange TIE
details of the rush. One OF the sug-
gestions is that each post arrange a
big public dinner, to be- held in the
street late in the afternoon OF one of
the three days, and that ex-service
men and their families from all parts
OF the country be invited.
There are 50 local posts in Florida
every county being represented by one
or more. The state furnished more
than $4,000 soldiers and sailors dur
ing the war.

CEMENT SHORTAGE STOPS
HALF OF BUILDING AT MIAMI

The Miami Metropolis says: APP
proximately so per cent of the build
ing operations in Miami and Miami
Beach is held up or severely crippled
on account of the acute shortage OF
cement, and somewhere between $50
and 500 men have been temporarily
thrown out of employment in the last
10 days from the same cause, it is
estimated.
Two concerns in Miami have been
receiving fairly regular but limited
supplies of cement, 1t is said, but
these dealers have not been able to
keep the work of the city going. The
other dealers have bven getting little
or none. Some Of the lumber yards
are discontinuing handling cement
because of the worry and trouble It
entails.
The Flamingo hotel, the Hardine
building, the new ice plant and other
big buildings around the city and the
beach have been kept going, but other
builders who did not contract in ad-
vance for their cement have run up
against stone wall.
"We are no worse off than any 9th
or city in the country said w. w.
Schilling. vice president of the l., e,
Schlling company. dealer in cement
and building materials. Even Phila-
delphia, 80 miles away from IS ce-
ment mills, is suffering from the
shortage of this material. think
Miami is doing better than most cities
We are getting In car a dayand
keeping our contracted jobs going
right along.
Builders consider the situation
critical. Their gangs are being disor-
ganized through the cessation of work
and the delays are proving exceed
ingly costly from a financial stand
point. II is considered fortunate that
Miami has had big hotel and apart
ment building program this year. foI
it would have been practically impos
sible to have finished the buildings
before the winder season.
