tify Newly Made Streets

replacing trees that have been damaged

While $500 trees were planted dur
ing the last fiscal year, Mr.. Lanham
explained today that under the $4,000
appropriation allowed by the Budget
Bureau that number would be exceeded
by between 1000 and 1900 young trees
which will be planted before the end OF
the fiscal year.
While most of these trees will be
planted during the Spring along newly
made streets, the department is max
ing preparation to plant along Tenth
street where it has been widened. Re-
cent storms and floods damaged many
of the young trees in the District
nursery. adjoining Boiling Field, which
handicapped planting activities earlier
In the year Mr.. Lanham however. now
has on hand great many varieties of
young trees. which are to be planted as
rapidly as possible during the coming
months.
The American elm is being used on
the wider streets and avenues, while
red oaks are to be planted on streets
of moderate width. On the very mar
row ti1oroughfares ginkgo trees are to
be planted. Other varieties which will
be used extensively are the sycamore,
Norway maple. willow-leaf oak, pin oak
