telephone service lines run on only
quarter of the streets, as an entire
block is served from one of the four
streets bounding it, would run five
feet north of south curb or five feet
east of the west curb, depending on
the direction of the street, about
three feet underground.
6. The street-lighting cables would
run in shallow trenches just back
of each curb.
7. If the street had a gas-pumping
main Zone serving a section of the
city, it would be much larger than
the service main and would run five
feet west of the east curb or five
feet south of the north curb.
8. If the street had trunk sewer
and water lines, as many do, these
Evening star., 1940-08-11

would use any free line and, on a
street less than 100 feet from build
ing line to building line, would run
in the roadway, probably farther
underground than the service lines
9. An electric trunk conduit, if
there were one, would also take any
free line, probably, on a narrow
street, in the roadway.
In addition to all these, lines
connecting all houses with all
utilities except telephone (this
connection is made overhead would
be found; likewise, police call box
and fire alarm and hydrant con-
nections, and lines connecting the
two electric service lines across the
street.
On exceptional streets might be
Evening star., 1940-08-11

found, in addition to all this, huge
storm sewers, one or two telegraph
company lines, central heating plant
lines and underground street car
cables. In the business section a
vault extending to the curb would
preclude any tree at all.
Then there are, of course, the
hundred and one manholes used by
the various companies, particularly
the electric company. Some of these
have to be big enough to contain
elaborate transformer equipment.
Still, on such a street those tree
roots on the building side of the
trees would be left relatively un-
touched by trench work done in
laying the lines.
On a wide street, that having a
Evening star., 1940-08-11

very nearly equal to its height, that
is 40 to As feet on all sides. Its
bark is clean. 1t is shady. Its wood
is strong. 1t is not brittle. 1t will
stand gas fumes and having its
roots and branches cut better than
any other tree.
The other trees now being planted
possess these qualities to a some
what lesser degree.
Helped by Widening.
So, let us say for the sake of
argument that we have been given
better than we had before the
streets were widened. Let us say
that given the same chance as the
trees we have lost, these new and
hardy types will create downtown
Washington as beautiful, and far
more efficient and practical, than
before.
But these new trees will not have
the same chance their predecessors
had. Worm's-eye views of an aver
age narrow street and of an average
wide street may show why.
A typical narrow street, less than
100 feet from building line to build
ing line, is about 80 feet. Centered
in this space is 30-foot roadway
f1anked by a row of siX-foot tree
wells six-foot sidewalks and 18-
foot front yards.
Picture a mature Oriental plane
tree, about rs feet tall, and with
branches extending to the opposite
curb and nearly brushing the walls
of the houses.
The roots of such a tree extend
as far as the branches, providing
the tree is placed under normal
conditions, which street conditions
emphatically are not.
Under street conditions these
roots, without which the tree cannot
live, are somewhat stunted on the
street side because air and water
cannot make their way through
asphalt and concrete. On the build
ing side the roots extend easily to
the building line and most, of the
trees feeding is done on the building
side, where soil, air and water
conditions are, of course, far better
than on the street side.
Now, let's run the usual compile
ment of underground public utilities
down the street in their average or
typical positions.
/. The water service line that
is serving the houses on each side
of the street would be about IL
inches in diameter and would be
laid two feet north or east of the
center line of the street, depending
on the direction of the street, about
four feet underground.
Evening star., 1940-08-11

2. The sewer service line would
be about the same size. 1t would
run two feet south or west of the
center line about 10 feet under
ground.
3. The gas service main, smaller,
of course, than water and sewer
lines, would run five feet south or
west of the center line about four
feet underground.
a. There would be two electric
service lines. One, about nine
inches in diameter, would run under
that block of the sidewalk nearest
the building line about three feet
underground. The other, smaller
in size, would occupy the same
position across the street.
5. The telephone service line
Evening star., 1940-08-11

building line to building line width
of more than 100 feet, there is a
different and far more alarming
story.
Here the service lines, with the
exception Of the telephone line, are
all double, one on each side of the
street. and, what is more, run under
the sidewalk. Often trunk and
pumping lines run between the trees
and the building line as well. Thus
the trees root system, stunted on
the street side and cut or damaged
by the digging of one or two
trenches, is also subjected to ex-
posure, amputation and injury on
the side where most of its feeding
is done.
Run Underneath.
On some streets conditions arise
where lines must be run directly
under trees.
The reasons for running these
lines where they are and running
them straight, for even the con-
Meeting Lines do not bend to avoid
trees as a rule, are to promote
economy and traffic relief. 1t would
cost more to run them elsewhere
and to have them all in the center
of the street would disrupt traffic
according to Capt. H. c. Whitehurst
Highway Department director.
1t can be said that a tree starting
life now, and these are the ones that
face q life full of public utility lines
would not be affected by lines laio
down when the trees are mere sap
lings.
But all is change, as every one
knows, and it would be an unobserv-
ant person vino had not seen any
one of these lines being exposed by
trenches again and again for repair
or enlargement.
Capt. Whitehurst maintains great
care is taken by the utilities COM
panies and the Sewer and Water
Departments not to cut the major
roots of trees when excavating.
Often trench diggers are able
to dig around large roots, leaving
them to cross the trench in the air
Picture yourself, however, poised
with pick or jack hammer in the
block of a six-foot sidewalk nearest
the building line. Would you know
what you were going to hit until
you hit it?
1t is not stretching a point, too
to say that the average trench dig
ger could not be expected to be
acutely tree-minded.
Is there a solution to this whole
problem of public utilities and trees?
Yes, there is. But like so many
solutions it would necessitate an
enormous initial expense, although
subsequently maintenance on util-
ity lines would be less expensive
than at present.
The solution is master SYSTEM
a darge tunnel under the middle OF
each street in which everything
except electric power lines (these
connot be put near gas because OF
the danger of explosion) could be
placed and through which main
tenance men could actually walk
In other words the solution would
be modern version of the sewers
of Paris.
But even leaving out the expense
as one underground engineer at the
District Building put it: Did you
ever try getting the Water Depart
ment, Sewer Department, telephone
company, gas company and electric

Methodists Decline
1oAct on Relations
OF u. ). and Vatican
Church Shouldn't Be
Nervous Over Small
Motters,' Says Dr.. Sloan

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April
"a proposal that the Methodist
church pass judgment on ofIicial re-
lations between the United States
and the Vatican was overwhelmingly
rejected today by the general con-
ference.
Sponsored by DR.. w. r. Bryan,
Huntsville, Tex, delegate, the reso-
luton called for appointment of q
10-man committee to draft a formal
statement on the church's attitude.
DR.. Bryan observed the council of
bishops, in report to the general
conference. had protested against
relations with the Vatican.
Urging a vote against the resolu-
ton. DR.. Harold Paul Sloan of New
York said:
AT this time when the Christian
church is being attacked on all
sides, it does not seem becoming
for the greatest body in PROTESTANT
ism to be 50 nervous over such 1
small matter.
The resolution was termed "un-
necessary" by the Rev. James w.
Moore of Newport News. Va, who
said, "the Committee on Interde-
nominational Relations has already
prepared a report on the subject,
which will come up on this floor"
The conference also was expected
to take an official stand today on the
Dies Committee investigating un.
American activities.
Since Representative Martin Dies

age between conservative" dele

Council Of Methodist Youth.
During the speech, Herman win,
jr., Of Chicago, president of the
Youth Council. led a group of young
men in distributing circulars pro-
testing the Entertainment Commit
tees action in inviting the Texas
Democrat.
Later, Mr. Will condemned what
he described as suppression Of
freedom" by the Dies Committee.
DR.. Miron A. Morrill, Of Chicago,
chairman OF the Methodist Publicity
Committee, said the young men
were apparently determined to have
the conference 60 on record against

PHILADELPHIA. April 2e.-Suc.
cessful results from an operation
that fashions Z window deep ir
the inner ear for the treatment
of otosclerosis, common type OF
deafness, was reported today BY
surgeons OF the Temple University
medical school.
In a two-year period DR.. Matthew
s. Ersner, professor Of otology, re-
ported. 81 patients who underwent
the operation experienced lmme-
diate improvement In their hearing
In Is, however. the improvement
lasted only eight or nine weeks,
after which the hearing returned
to pre-operation condition.
"Our conclusion is that even that
margin Of success justifies the op-
Grafton In suitable cases." Dr. Ersner
said, however. "It certainly does
not harm the patient If carefully
performed"
In normal ears sound waves shake
the eardrum, which passes the vi
brations through a chain of tiny
bones-the hammer" "anvil' and
"stirrup"-through a window into
the inner ear. The vibrations stir
a fluid, the lymph, in which float
the hairlike nerve endings which
send the message to the brain.
In otosclerosis bony overgrowth
fastens the "stirrup" solid in its
window SO that vibrations cannot
get past.
The operation, devised by several
European surgeons and DR.. Julius
tempert Of New York, involves
drilling 4 tiny window into the
labyrinth which houses the endings
Of the hearing nerve. The eardrum
is cut partly from its moorings
and fitted over the new window
so that its vibrations can agitate
the lymph directly.
Those who underwent successful
