Sharp disagreement between

Abbitt said the representative
had stated that Virginia was no

congressman commented ha

using these trees Or native
shrubs Business and industrial
property owners he said could
make paintings to beautify pre-
misses
Service stations might plant
several trees to form a back
ground and be beautified by
selection Of low-growing trees or
Towering shrubs in the front.
Suburban roads. such as the
WILDWOOD Road could become a
shoWplace through the use Of
trees and shrubs.

trees be planted on private pro-
perty on the streets where electric
lines are located. or the use of
some Of the low growing trees
which would not interfere with
The wires.
