WANTON DESTRUCTION
OF CITY PARK TREES
Secretary of Park Board Calls Atten-
ton TO Serious Damage Done by
Careless Slasher

Every thoughtful citizen of Lady
smith is interested no doubt in the
things that tend to make our city
beautiful. Yet it is surprising how
many of our men and women, not to
mention children, are thOughtless.
The local park board in an endeavor
to call public attention to certain per-
niciOuS habits of many of our citizens,
and to stimulate the public to resent
such habits, has undertaken to publish
series of articles concerning damage
done to trees and shrubs on private and
public grounds.
In this article we shall call atten-
ton to serious damage deliberately
committed on city property few
months ago.
1t seems that for some reason the
men employed by local ice company
to cut ice near the west bank Of the
river at the north end of the city, con-
Sidered it necessary to enclose the area
they were cutting, with a fence Of
brush. Accordingly the beautiful grove
of white birch and soft maple on the
river bank at the north end of West
FOurth-St. was SlaShed down for that
purpose Not only were the trees cut
down in sufficient quantity to supply
the imagined need, but as many more
were chopped off and thrown down on
the ice where they can still be seen.
How anyone with a grain of fore
sight or an ounce of brains could COM
nit such thing is impossible to see.
1t would be quite worthy Of Hun in
France but what shall we say of an
American in Ladysmith doing it? A
-year-old boy with new axe would
have known better.
Eventually it will become necessary
for the city to replace those trees by
painful process of taxation and
planting. At the present time it would
require no less than 5000 to replace
them with the quantity and size of
those destroyed, to say nothing of the
time that would be lost in waiting for
a new planting to get established.
Not only is this an outrage because
of the destruction of the trees, but
also because of the site selected by the
offenders. These trees shaded the
bank at the most frequented spot in
our city, the bank of the only desirable
bathing place within a reasonable dis
tance
No one can contend that this offense
was unavoidable, neither can it be
considered excusable. We hope that
this publicity of the matter will at
least make it unpopular for this thing
to be repeated another season on other
public or private grounds.
Il. NJ. DAHLBERG,
Secretary, Park Board.

COSTS FORCE
ADV. RATE ADVANCE

The News Budget has been forced
by greatly increased costs to revise its
advertising rates somewhat
Effective April /, all transient dis
play advertising in this paper will be
charged for at 20 cents per inch per in
sertiOfl. We have been charging 20
cents per inch for One-time advs. for
some time. but the transient rate will
hereafter apply to advertisements of
five inches or less run less than one
month. Minimum for any display
adv, so cents per insertion.
Regular advertisers, using 1G0 inches
or more of space, will be charged IS
cents per inch for all advs. requiring
composition.
Advertisements all electrotyped, 10
cents per inch for less than 100 inches ;
100 inches or more, 1919 cents per inch.
All advertisements will be given best
possible position. Where special or
preferred position is required, an extra
charge will be made.
Readers, set in type Of paper, run of
paper. ) cents per line. Locals, Z cents
per line: in black face 10 cents.
Classified want advs., ) cents per line.
No advertisement less than % cents.
The revision Of rates as above Speci-
fed is really no increase at all. The
transient rate has been extended TO
cover adyS. run two or three weeks.
Display rates have been increased
about two cents per inch and locals 2
cents per line over the rates that have
been in effect for several years past, but
the percentage increase has been far
less than the percentage of increase i'll
circulation for the past year alone.
The new advertising rates are only
about forty per cent higher than they
were nine years ago. while the circula-
tion has increased one hundred per
cent in that time.
Recognizing the fact that they are
getting better service in every way, our
advertisers are too reasonable to make
any objection to the increase i'll rates
in the face of the steadily increasing
costs that they know we have to con
tend with.
The News-Budget will also have to
advance its subscription rates i'll the
near future.
