STREET PLANTING
RULES EXPLAINED

Citizens contemplating. the plant
ing of trees and shrubs on streets
adjacent to their property first
must discuss the matter with the
personnel Of the Parks department
to secure permission to plant
and to obtain suggestions on the
type Of shrubbery desired, it was
explained this morning by city Of
ficials.
The measure is being taken in
/ the interest Of a more attractive
city and to halt interference by
foliage of essential services, such
as telephone wires, light wires,
and sidewalks.
Certain trees and shrubs have
been outlawed by the department.
The following is an explanatory
message on the subject. It was
written by. r. w. Smell, Parks de-
partment superintendent, for City
Manager A. G. Nichols:
'"aThe City Of Wilmington re-.
quests all property owners or 9TH
ers who are. interested in planting
trees or shrubs on city streets adj
jacent to their property during the
coming planting season, to first
obtain Permission to Plant from
4 your city Park Department locat-
ed at the City Hall.
This is necessary and required
by ordinances for the purpose Of
acquainting those interested with
the city regulations governing such
planting and pruning on city
streets, prohibiting the planting OF
undesirable trees and shrubs, and
regulating and controlling the To-
cation Of paintings.
'The city authorities are pleas
ed that numerous residents have
indicated their desire to plant
trees and shrubs along city streets
and hope all will recognize plan.

out the city should be followed fol
the greatest benefit and enjoyment
Of all.
i First, 1t is very important thai
considerable thought be given te
choosing the tree or shrub to plant
and the location for planting it
/. Essential overhead and under
: ground services, space between
sidewalk and pavement and thu
proximity to street intersections
must be considered. No shrut
whose ultimate height will exceed
thirty inches can be permitted tt
be planted within fifteen feet of {
street intersection except shade
trees which must be trimmed sew
en- feet above the street grade.
There are however, certain
.. trees and shrubs that are undesir
able for street planting, and fo1
which no permits for planting car
be issued. These are the Chin;
, trees, mulberrys, American Syca
more, certain poplars, and som,
other species. No shrub should b.
planted in any location on a stree
. where continual pruning or trim
