To SAVE
C|TY'S TREES

The tree-slashing program of the
District Commissioners on Washing
tons avenues and highways has
been brought before the National
Park and Planning Commission for
consideration. The commission will
take the matter up at its meeting
in July.
The protest against the tree
cutting was submitted by the Fine
Arts Commission, acting for the
Garden Club of America and other
allied groups.
1t is understood, however, that
the Park and Planning Commission
places more stress upon the traffic
needs than upon its artistic needs.
Il is probable that the members
of the commission will approve the
tree-cutting program as a necessary
evil, although it may recommend to
Congress new legislation authoriz-
ing appropriations for an extensive
tree planting program.
