 Blight Settling
 On City's Trees;
 No Cure Found

Waterburys famed elm trees are doomed to certain death" within the next decade or so. This has been the diagnosis by leading tree spe- clalists in Connecticut. A malignant disease known as the Dutch eli1, blight is settling upon city trees and those in the greater part of oil New England.
 John P. Elton, chairman of the city's Park Board, yesterday review cd to the board his findings relative to long discussions with State Park and Forestry experts and the con- clusion has been reached that the elm trees on Church street, the Green and other streets are doomed to certain death" No actual con. trol of the blight has been acquired by research, MT. Elton has been inc formed, and no preventive has been found for avoiding the spread of such c disease.
 A committee consisting of MT. El- ton, Thomas ?. Moore and Park Superintendent James J. Curtin was chosen to make further study of the consequences arising from the pres- erce of this blight.
 Substitutes Found Undesirable
 MT. Curtin declared to The Demo- crat today that 1t is difficult ct this time to determine just how to off- set the eventual destruction of these old and famed trees in Waterbury.
 Other communities which have been hit by the same condition, Mir. Curtin declared. have experimented with various type substitute trees, such as maple and oak, but these have proven to be too shady" Q type tree resulting in the inability or difficulty in raising grass within their locales. This such substitutes would not be suitable on the city's central Green.
 Some communities have substitut- ed Q tree known as the London Plane tree but 1t since has been dis- covered that 6 blight Is now spread in gamong this type as well, which is equally as uncomfortable. Pos- sibility of use of the Pin Oak has been considered but these are not trees of particular beauty, 1t has been decided.
 Streets Named for Elm
 Waterbury'g elm trees, once so numerous and of such statuesque beauty, resulted in some of the city streets being named after them, such as South Elm, North Elm, etc. These latter thoroughfares, however. have
