Deplores Destruction
OF Trees.
November 10.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Isn't there some way In which people
who work with trees can be made more
tree-conscious-to realize how many
years it takes for tree to grow. and
then how many years they beautify the
world?
The idea of cutting down and trans
planting the cherry trees and the many
others to make room for a thing made
by man stirs my very. soul in protest.
jefferson was aAgreat lover of trees and
surely he would never permit the de-
struction of all this beauty If he were
here to prevent it. There are so many
places where the Jefferson Memorial
could be-places that need identifying.
Why disturb a spot that is already per-
feet. LAURA WALES ALVORD.

Sontu Claus in Reverse

The residents of Havre de Grace
and Perryville, Maryland, apparently
are about to receive lesson in the
dangers of getting something for
nothing.
The State Roads Commission an
nounces it will demolish the old free
bridge over the Susquehanna River
as soon as the new toll bridge has
been completed. The new bridge,
built with money provided partly by
the Public Works Administration and
partly by the sale of bonds by the
State, had been looked forward to as
a great civic gain in Northeastern
Maryland. Havre de Grace was to
be given an improvement which
would bring larger volumes of traffic
through the town. The idea that the
new bridge, with its toll charges,
might block off a great deal of the
traffic which had been bringing a
steady flow of community trade into
the town had been put at rest largely
py Ille promises, actual or lmplleQ, OF
the rival candidates for Governor
that the old free bridge would remain
open for the benefit of the residents
of the community.
Obviously, public works of such
magnitude cannot be financed out of
thin air. 1t is likewise obvious that
for the protection of the investors,
whose money is used to pay the
States share of the cost, the old
bridge cannot be maintained in COM
petition with the new one. Some one
must pay, and the most equitable
means yet found is to make the user
bear his share of the cost.
However, in the case of contiguous
communities, separated only by a

bridge, whose residents buy and sell,
live and work on opposite sides Of
the river, some form of exemption,
rebate, or communication should be
provided. In that respect, the prob
lem is merely a local matter. It is
of interest only to the residents Of
the communities concerned.
In its border aspects, however, 1t
serves as an example Of the axiom
that Christmas comes but once a
year. P. w. A. may give, and give,
and give. But someday, somewhere,
somebody must pay, and pay, and
pay.

Dangerous Delay

The National Capital has recorded
its eightieth traffic fatality of the
year-a pedestrian.
Meanwhile, progress is being made,
very, very slowly toward final plans
for the promised public hearing on
the question of pedestrian traffic
control. Traffic Director Van Duzer
has completed his collection of data
from other cities and expects to have
it assembled within another week.
But still no date has been ret for the

Flouting of immigration
Laws Protested.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I was deeply shocked last night to
learn through q radio broadcast that
our immigration laws are being houted
by the immigration authorities and the
Labor Department. It seems that the
German immigration quota is now set
at ~, 900 per year, but that this year more
than two and half times this number
have already been admitted. What good
are the immigration laws? Miss Perkins
Is now apparently seeking authority to
permit an additional $1,000 to enter. The
