LANDSCAPE PLAN CONSERVES CONN.
 ROADSIDE TREES
Highway Commissioner Mac donald Announces Policy Of Saving Desirable Natural Growths.

Conservation wherever possible Of roadside trees, shrubbery and other desirable growths Is now part of the Connecticut Highway Departments landscaping program, according to an announcement recently bv Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald. Not a single tree is to be cut down along the highway right of way un- less the safety of the driving public requires it. On the other hand, thousands of trees, shrubs and plants are being set out along the highways The highway departments beautih- cation work has already notably hn- proved the appearance of many roads throughout the state, although it will take several years before the results of this policy become fully apparent.
 According to highway department regulations, no growth of any kind is to be permitted to stand which would seriously interfere with the vision of motorists or with drainage. Beyond that, all good growth, m groups. in mass, or as single specl- mems. will be cared for and conserv- ed. This includes a mixed assortment of plants, trees, shrubs, vines, ouios' ferns, wild flowers and grasses Weeds, briars and poisonous plants are to be removed.
 In cutting brush along woodland borders, it will be the policy of the highway department to break up the monotony of long straight lines by cutting in and out in scalleped IT. regularity.
 To Conserve Shade Trees
 Wherever the motorists line Of vision is not interfered with, all young shade trees will be conserved DO matter how thick they may stand.

MUNICIPAL BAND
EASTER CONCERT

One of the largest crowds OF the
season greeted the program of the Ely
Municipal Band at the Auditorium
Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Noah direc-
tress, had arranged pleasing pro-
gram which left nothing to be desired.
The band opened the program with
a stirring march and followed with
an overture, The Barber of Seville. y
The overture was given with finish
which would do credit to bands twice
the size of the Ely organization.
Carolina Moon, vocal offering by
Charles Merhar accompanied by the
band was a pleasant surprise to the
many friends of Mr.. Merhar. He has
an elegant tenor voice and gave this
very musical number neatly, the rem
dition being enhanced by the fine ac-
compartment played by the band.
Miss Sunshine Noah gave two fine
trombone solos accompanied by Miss
Irene Thomas at the piano. Miss Noah
makes the trombone behave and gets
music out of this rather difficult in
strument. Hugo Kleemola, the Saxo-
phone soloist of the band, played "a
King for Day. accompanied by the
band.
Miss Mama Forbes, rendered two
well-given readings in her usual pleas
ing manner. She was roundly ap-
plauded The band followed with a
descriptive selection 1.-The Night
Alarm" in which the familiar sounds
of a department attending a fire were
reproduced and red fire display lent
realism to the offering.
The concert came to close with
the "Stars and Stripes Forever" in
which the trombones, assisted by the
High School trombone section, were at
their best. The youngsters took the
front of the stage in their natty white
uniforms with red trimmings. Those
Of the school were Chas Trezona, Will
ford Robertson, Celia Golob, Arthur

A total of Sl1 ,679 1923 has been spent
for trunk highway improvements and
maintenance in st. Louis county since
the system went into effect in 1921,
according to figures received by The
Miner from G. NJ Babcock, commits
sioner of highways. The gas and auto
mobile taxes paid in this county from
1921 to 1923, inclusive, are given at
Sc ,632 ,976. On Highway 35 with
mileage of 1924, $50, 1856 was expended
for maintenance and SO, 260 for i'm
provements during 1928. Previous to
1923 there had been 1913, 723 expended
on this highway.
Total expenditures to date in the
eighty-five counties outside OF Hen
nepin and Ramsey are Sl2O,473,52l
while gas and auto taxes total $751;
872, 346. Federal aid has contributed
to the difference, the total allotments
to Minnesota to the end of 1928 being
SCI. 712. 521 Funds from county bonds
assumed by the state, and the contrib
utions by the two large counties make
I'D the balance of the difference in
receipts and expenditures. Hennepin
and Ramsey counties have paid
total of S29. 259, $50 in gas and auto
taxes in the eight year period, and ST.
041 ,462 has been spent on the trunk
routes in those counties. The gas and
auto taxes paid by these two counties
to date are slightly higher than the
trunk highway expenditures in the
fourteen counties which are within a
fifty mile radius of the Twin Cities.
Not all rural counties have shared
alike Although average expenditures
s2O6 for each dollar in gas and auto
taxes paid in the eight-five counties
outside of Ramsey and Hennepin,
there are eight of them in which re-
ceipts exceed expenditures and several
more where expenditures are only
slightly higher than receipts. Some of
these, however, are slated for extern
sive construction projects in the near
future and it is expected that eXpendi-
lures will ultimately be considerably
larger than receipts in all the rural
counties 1t will be impossible, how
ever, to maintain any uniform ratio
between receipts and expenditures
within the counties, Mr.. Babcock ex-
plains For one thing traffic demands
rather than taxes paid, are given first
consideration in planning improve
ments within any county. Further
more the policy of improving one
route at time makes it impossible to
maintain equality in receipts and ex-
penditures.
The expenditures within any county
are not full measure of the benefits
received by car owners of that county
Mr.. Babcock points out. The figures
are given out, he says, because the
law requires the department to keep
an account showing expenditures by
counties, and because it is a matter of
public interest. The car owners Of
each county, have the benefit of
highway Improvements made in all the
other counties of the state. The mo-
torist who does not go beyond his
county's borders is practically I'M
known today. The majority take long
trips from time to time, from one
boundary of the state to the other
With improved roads the trips have
become longer and longer.

NOOREHEAD LOSES
IN FIRST ROUND

Notwithstanding the fact that the
moral support of the state of Mime
sofa was solidly behind the Moorhead
team in the United States champion
ship basket ball tilt at the Bartlett
Gymnasium in Chicago, the Mime
sofa team was defeated in the first
round of the contest by the heart
breaking score of 80 to 20.
The state champs were pitteo
against the College Grove, Tenn,
quintet. The game was fast and
fought to the bitter end. The lead
alternated several times during the
game but last minute squirt on the
part of the Tennessee boys cinched
the game for the southerners.
