10 CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, FEBRUARY 3, lOOS! - A - Flea-- fcir Giw :. BetftemiCT& The following paper read by Airs. H. Lock wood Jones to trie Civic Section of the--Woman's Club The IJeal city should give its in habitants a many of Naiure's-eem forts as are cons intent with city life Purs air should, be the nrst con ideration for without' it, public health is endangered. Ah unlimited water supply certainly comes next. Xor purposes of drinking and cook Jng, for putting out fires, and for keeping vegetation in a state of fresh uess and bloom; this is absolutely the only danger or famine Charlotte . can sutf er from or . anticipate. " a ter, water, everywhere, and not drop to drink." Trees, shrubs, vines and flowers should b planted and tended both by public representatives of the peo Vie, and by the people themselves as individuals. The old Southern towns,- as well as the old New England towns, appreciated 'this duty well their long avenues and streets were lined with elms, maples and beautiful oak trees. In the far South era cities,', the cottonwood 'and palm i trees were used for shade on side- 'walxs, and in many a double row of trees down the centre of the streets were seen; and the grounds of larg er or lesser extent showed examples of- carefully-tended shrub and rare ppeclmens of trees requiring parties iiar care. AVho does not remember the grand mother's garden bordered with artls trcally-cut boxwood, . and euonymus . edge and arches, as well as the flower-beds and borders of flourishing plants ? This, one notices .particularly now in our capital city such beauti ful beds and borders of plants, and young trees. There I watched the planting of a small slip of a maple tree. A 2x3 foot hole was durf. about two feet deep. This wal half tilled with chip manure, which made loose ground, drainage and richness. Then the tree was placed in, the roots care fully spread out, the hole tilled with , water and before the water had nil . roaked In the earth vai being gently tossed In. to flu the hole and pack around the tree. There they fldom ; lose a tree so planteJ. Here I notice we trust to nature. Ignorance and T'ajit of care "Jut dig a hole, drop the root in, and 1111 her up," as an ild darky planting trees at the South rraded school several years ago said In reply to my question. Rome of these trees lived, and are very fine ones, and some died. But, with our wonderful climate anj with the afore Mid careful planting, the "professor who knows It all" shoulrW have lost none. A tree so planted In December or January, or even February and March, has time. In our mild climate, to spread and nourish Its little root lets and later put forth Its leaves, casting shade to protect theso same iltt'e rootlets from the scorching sun of July and August. This department of the Woman's flub believes, had the city had a few women on its park commission, who Knew something of planting and beautifying this magnificent row of cedars (100 or more years of age) on the Monroe road, back of Elizabeth , College, would never have been cut down, Just to widen the road a few feet Troly this was vandallum, for there are none liko them left. Nor would those handsome cedars In the old cemetery have bern trimmed up "paint-brush fashion," and that im possible, Impasimble hedge around this sacred spot! and that terrace of ohrubs! In this climate it was, and J, laughable to those who know. We, who love Chrlotte. are distressed to pee affairs like this going on. But the men will learn better by the time the Woman's Club Is twenty years of age, and will select a man and a wo charming experiments of that inter- esung oia city. man from this section who knows of our beautiful floral plants and who win use them Instead of niacin for lin plants, which need care and i ter constantly, and unfortunately get none, or got none In this case. A feature of this park commission mould be a woman's auxiliary wo nen who know something of plant ng, would perform effective nervlce. vnai is more beautiful than ou dogwood tree? With Its glorious, jiure-wnite tiower, evry bloxaom turn' d heavenward! Yet two years ago . wnen the park commission took clmrge of the eit venth street parking urounK the oia waterworks, an ob - rervani jaay, one or the pioneers, one night say, anj one devoted to nature counted forty-seven of thone flourish ing tree, young and old, cut down. They make our wooJs glorious when In flower, give fine shade when In leaf. inougn not a large tree, and when front comes and touches them their ieaves are gorgeous In coloring, and later when many other trees stand raked, they ore covered with bright ra oerries, which our birds Jellght In eating. There are many others of like beauty, which, if given some care , woui'i vie with those of Hawaii. With the growth of larzer cities this matter of tree-planting has been . very much neglected until recently, The complications of modern civili sation, the tubing under the street xor arainnge, the crowing and re crossing of gas pipes and electric , wires, the network of other wire overhead, the immenne hih build Jngs and the excavating way out un der side-walks for "Jail-room" as they call It, have all conspired to make the life of trees and shrubs difficult. The spirit of the age has been to cut tnem down they r in, the way; beauties of fifty or more years, or worse, let them decay; when, .with a little cutting away of old bark, when oecay sets in, a little cement and tir me neart-wooii, in a few years jwiure win nave rown over the tar und cement, a new bark so nearly , perfect hat the old decayed place can hardly b noticed. Hut down they go, without feeling. It be to any tnisfortune. Many a grand old tree has been sacriflcej to a new trolly line, or block of bulMlngs, apparently with out causing one pang of regret to n mina or any one concerned. Of very recent years, however, people have begun to see this is a mistake. Perhau the conntam im of travel ha caused the beauties of j-.uroptin towns and cities to awaken comparison in the minds of those able and wininr to exert themselves for public good. In European towns, particularly In ., 4hose of Germany. It Is a law that sor a mil from the town line, all approaching roads shall be closely shaded, and one may snow (no I em told) from seeing the long avenues of stately trees, while ,t in the npen country, of the approach of a city Every city hi Its system of pars both larger and smaller, and the too logical gardens, which abound - in beautiful nd rare shrubberies end trees, as well as in, specimen of anl- snai lire, are invariably one of the eights of the place vloltors are rec ommended to see. A friend of mine rpeorlog of Cologne, said any v!flt or wh Joes -not see the beautiful 'R!ng-f?trase" or system of small parks that extends around thst city, or who omits a visit to the "Flora," a small but exqulsltely-arrsnged park, where the orchestra plays every af ternoon, and where seats In plenty, tinder the trees, tempt the population en.Joy the delights of outdoor cul tlvatlcfnr has missed one of the tnoit Why. cannot we here work tin this Plan? Small parks here and there before eur town grow to 1U twenty . mile-square limit, which we Char lotteans know It will do In as many yearC The Woman's- Club must be the power behind the town authorities who are so busy now digging up the streets, so Blow putting them down again. The Civic Department of the Woman's Club must be Ihe active agent for our future city, clean and beautiful, helping make It truly a "Queen City." Our city dark commission or as sociation, could be of Invaluable pub lic service In securing the establish ment of numerous small paries and playgrounds In the various pert of the city. It sounds like a strong move ment for recreative sanitary pur PobcC but the charms of the natural features of the suburban landscape could be so preserved, for there are! many beautiful spots In and around Charlotte. The project sounds 'like magnificent one, but on the plan o i oiogne girdle the city now with i connecting series of darks and park ways or irivea would be beautifu particularly with reference to the banks of the several minor water courses or creeks. The Idea Is well within ihe bounJs of practicability, an.1 would be of immense' hygienic vaiue. eome or these streams are al ready becoming so denied through the character of neighboring mill emptying dye water, etc., into them. mat tney are now a nuisance and are endangering- the health of our citv. This proposition would convert them into irmi ana enauring beauty, ana a rural pleasure ground for the sur rounding population and avert a Jan ger generated bv noisome swamts and unclean water and from a water sup ply pollution. - Just let any one be amy impressed with the desirabil Jty of some Improvement for the community where they live, and a way can De round to give It an opportuni Among American cities. Washing ton. Hartford. Conn.. Halt Lake City and Boston are taking the lead in this respect, looking after the natu ral beauties of their streets, narks ana surroundings. Commonwealth avenue. BoBton, Is magnificently laid out with a park-like centre; Augusta, Ca., and Columbia, 8. C, also have streets with this parking In . which the trees have grown to a fine size, and are luxurl ant In foliage They have plenty of space In whfch to develop and, al though paved to within two feet of the trunk seem to thrive. The beau tiful trees of Lafayette Square. Wash ington, D. C. are noted, also the his torie elm of the Boston Common are well preserved, and in the rublic Gardens behind the Commons are shown fine specimens of trees. Boston. New Haven and Hartford re particularly favored with ha vim had publlc-splrltcU citizens, who have left large bequests for the purpose of Increasing their park system. With fine roads leading to parks, where specimens of trees from all parts of ne gioDe are shown, so far as Is pos ilble In a far Northern cllWte. with a label on each tree giving Informa tion to an who earn to seek, are the results of this publlc-Kplrlted citizen ship so much needed in our own citv. Hartford has special pride In its rows of elms, and North Carolina cut-leaf maples, and carefully tended grounds or its private homes both large and small. Salt Lake City strents are noted fr their fine large cottonwooj trees. The growth Is largely due to the wonderful Irrigation system used In that city. Baltimore's Druid Hill Park Is beautiful, principally because of Its fine shade-trees and the grass kept so green under their wide-spreading branches with plenty of water. New York may stand as the ex treme type of American rlty that has allowed the modern spirit of ex treme utilitarianism to interfere with everything that has not directly tend ej to its material welfare. The ugli ness of its Incoherent and abnormal architecture, the great gaps where empty lots are being held until an enormous price can bo obtained, the elevated road and surface lines that traverse the city from length to length make It difficult to imagine that citv becoming harmonious or beautiful as a whole. But once fon a tlins, even In New York, there were trees even In busy thoroughfares; but now this beauty Is gone, and the ugliness is accentuated by a condition of utter shadelessness through the business portions and most of the residence section, too. I understand the tree-nlantlnir as sociation of New York Is now taking me miner in nanJ, and with wo-1 mans auxiliary is looking the nitua- tlon wiuarely in the face. This, we must do here, where shade Is so much needed. Home step must be taken. Many, many blocks of our side or back street, as we call them, are desti tute pf trees. This, the citv should look after, soliciting the assistance of property owners, and aid for mem bers of the public-spirited Woman's Club; It, would soon succeed in making mis town one or noted beauty. The public -minded bodv of citizens real. Izes that not only Is the sense of beau ty Injured by a total absence of trees, but that the freshn'ss and life of the air are much lessened as well The office of foliage la to consume the carbonic acid gas In the air, and thus to purify It for human breathing. On West Trde street we have mnr- nlflcent oaks, one especially standing aione, a veritaoie monarch, at high noon costing a shadow one hundred feet across. Vet. near this, tree of su':h Immense growth, beauty and are are dozens of poles for troliey wires, telephone and telegraph. 1 overheard a bit of conversation on the side-walk near the Southern Hallway station that aroused mv at tention. Two men, bags In hanj, wait ing rr our very frequent and reg ular street car tear generally comes every twenty minutes, and this twen ty minutes service at a station where more passengers arrive thnn In anv town between Itlchmond and Atlantai one man said: "Grand dar and In dear hospitable Charlotte. A Other man replied. "Call this Charlotte, my God, man! I would call this Pole town. Judging from the number of poles 1 see up the street." And on I they slowly walked waiting for the car. But the remarks certainly on. enej wldo the writer's eyes. I looked and looked again, nnd counted and counted again: anil sura enouirh it id look ike a "pIe town." Poles! stuck In all between the trees, on the corners, two side by side, sometimes! inree Mgther, and I counted fifty-' nree or l nose unsightly poles bet wee -i the railway station and a little above Mint street, which was ns fsr as my eye could seo. Fifty-three poles In about eight btinJred feet one pole to every fourteen or fifteen feet! Think of It! And In the town we want to stand for beautiful. Jsn't the time ripe now f.,r the Leginnlng of doing away with these "unsljhtiy poles, Ie fore our permanent paving Is laid? Could not the .poles be done away with ut very little t xpense now. compara- I once and around the square. Surely out "city-fathers' and "xoung Busi ness Men's League" will not allow the expense of "permanent paving with out a system or conduits being )aiJ now, so, in a year or more these un sightly poles can go. It is to cosfr the city thousands of dollars to lay eight blocks of bitulllhlc paving. Are righteous-minded citizens going to do this without at least having this con GKEKNSBOKO CLCB 1 ORGANIZED.

Greensboro, Feb. 2. Despite the unfavorable weather, a number of baseball cranks of this city assembled duit system placed first? We cer- jn the Elks' Club last night and form- tainly could and would not handle our o-t buklnesa so carelessly, so let the poles go. Then, too, there will be some trees ha ved. for each pole rep resents a once beautiful tree, - It is suggested that owners of va cant lots convert them Into tempora ry parks, and If they cannot aftorJ the expense, that they shall be neip ed to do so out of a common fund Owners of houses are urged to plant trees, either in the street or in front or behind in their lots, In some Instances In our town, the absence of trees in front of houses seems to Suggest a fear on the part of the. owner that the follagev might obscure the architecture. They are apparently oblivious to the fact that trees would enhance the beauty of the place The private citizen In any place may do much to the Improvement of his or her own town in this respect. To begin with. If there is a fine tree on the lot where he or she expects to build, certainly place the house in such a way that the tree may be pre served, if one builds in an open lot, with a certain amount of expense, have trees transplanted by -cutting around the roots carefully, and bring ing some boII with them. I know personally a gentleman who changeJ a neglected lot, without a sign of vege tatinn. Into, a smiling little park with evergreen shrubs and some really large varieties of beech nd elms, in this way in two years', time. There can be no more public-spirit ed way of giving or of leaving mon fy than to the planting and tending of trees In streets or squares. One or two such bequests-will arouse such interest In the town or city that pri vate citizens will look about to see what they themselves can accomplish and the general Interest In Arbor Day will take a practical turn When one Stops to think of it. this calling the children's attention to the value and necessity of having the trees. Is one of the most powerful agencies we can employ. If thev are trained to enjoy them, taught tome- tning anout them and their tvalue, they will not outgrow .this; and w hen they Jn turn become citizens, they will care for the beauty and health to be found In our maples, elms. tod- lurg, and last, but not least, our arand olj oak trees. - THE WEATHER.
