$50 NEW CASES OF
DUTCH ELM DISEASE

The District Tree Division
has reported 359 new cases
Of Dutch elm disease here to
date this year. an increase
Of 80 cases over the number
reported in 1854.
John w. Batson, Superin-
tendent, attributed some of
the increase, however, to an
improved system Of scout
ing sick elms. Last years
dry weather was responsible
for part of the increase.
The number of stricken
trees-all destined to die in
a year or so-still repre-
sents less than l per cent
of Washington's American
elms, he pointed out.
OF the new cases found,

grounds.
The diseased trees are
being sprayed this year

gun to thrive since their

2 Walks Anew
In Georgetown
BY JOHN STEPP

Two of Old Georgetown's old
main stems-barren of foliage
for 80 years-soon will be green
again.
The Districts Tree Division is
ordering 1875 trees for the big
lgest planting job that section
of the city has seen in years.
| M street from Twenty-eighth
street to Canal road and Wis
consin avenue between M street
and Volta place are to get the
treatment. And from the Tree
Divisions standpoint, the treat
ment won't be easy.
In the first place the side
walks are narrow. They average
only II feet in width. While
this is sufficient to accommo-
date tree trunks, the boughs OF
most trees tend to poke through
the windows of all-too-nearby
buildings.
Shape Is Basic
/ To meet this basic problem,
the Districts nurserymen de-
cided that the M street tree had
to be tall and slim or there would
be lot of irate and critical
citizenry on their backs.
The slender ginkgo was out.
Ginkgos are too rich in blossom
time.
A combination of maple finally
provided the solution. This
specimen is achieved, rather
than grown, by grating the bud

More than $155, 900 in fees and

About $4,000 of the total
receipts came from fees imposed
on District and non-District cor
porations required to take out
certificates of authority to OPP
crate here. Another SOS, 1000 came
from recording costs collected by
the Office, according to Alfred
Goldstein. superintendent Of cor
porations.
Altogether, 1920 certificates of
authority were issued to foreign
corporations, and 343 new arti-
Giles of incorporation granted to
local firms.
Since June 80. Mr.. Goldstein
estimated, nearly 300 additional
non-District outfits have been
certified to do business here.
This estimated total of 1000,
however, represents only q little
more than one-half the number
of businesses that are required
to file for the necessary papers,
Mr.. Goldstein said. He said he
has no way of knowing what
amount OF the failure to apply
is deliberate or through over
sight.
A breakdown of the receipts
shows:
Certificates of authority -
$70,840: licenses to domestic
