Clean Up the Roadsides

Urging a general movement to have
roadsides cleared of rubbish as well
as disease breeding shrubbery and
dead trees, the Maine Department of
Agriculture, has forwarded a letter to
the municipal officers of all cities
and towns. Members of the depart
ment have expressed the hope that
all owners of roadside property will
assist in this movement. The letter
is as follows:
To the Municipal Officers Of the
Cities and Towns of Maine:
Your attention is hereby called to
the following section of Chapter 80
of the Revised Statutes:
Section II. The municipal officers
OF cities and towns shall, before the
first day of June of each year, cut,
burn and destroy all dead or worth
less apple trees, and all wild cherry
trees within the limits of the public
ways, streets and parks of their re-
spective towns and cities. For
neglect or failure to perform the
aforesaid duties each of the officers
shall be punished by a fine of not
less than fifty dollars"
1T is the desire of the Maine De-
partment of Agriculture to interest
the municipal officers and also the
citizens of all towns and cities in
this important matter of cleaning
fences and roadsides of unsightly and
disease breeding trees, bushes and
rubbish. The progress of agricul-
ture within our State depends in
some degree on the establishment of
pleasanter surroundings for our farm
homes. 1t is also true that many
hundreds of thousands of tourists
who will travel throughout our State
this summer will form opinions of
our homes and of our people, largely
gained from what they may see Of
our farm fronts and our roadsides
"a small expenditure of labor in
roadside Improvement by all owners
of farms and other property will
bring large returns both in satisfac-
ton and eventually in more substan-
tial benefits to our State. and a spirit
of cooperation between our citizens.
municipal officers and members of
this department should accomplish
much in this work.
Il trust that YOU will give this
matter at least portion of your at
tention during the spring months.
Very truly yours,
(Signed)

Commissioner of Agriculture

itance was squandered by our Iore-
fathers and Maine today owns put a
few thousand acres OF forest from
which most of the timber has been
sold. The people of Maine, its men,
women and children, should take an
interest in trees, and should study ana
plant them. Trees are blessings, peau-
tiful to look upon and useful TO man,
come when for both sentimental ana
practical reasons every city, town ana
village shall line it's streets with shade
trees, shall buy land for reforestatloh
and shall own public wood lots.
Our State of Maine once again
should begin to acquire land for refor-
cstation that future generations may
be supplied with timber. and that
Maine may continue to be known the
world over as the Pine Tree State.
NOW THEREFORE,, /, Perctval p.
