H. narger appeared before the commission seeking permission to change the frontage of two lots at' Adeline and vancouvier. He was advised to interview r owners of adjoining property and ascertain their attitude in the matter. In discussing the question of trees it was generally agreed that some replanting would be advisable, and that a more uniform plan be adopted in their selection, that each atreet, or perhaps a series of streets, the same type of tree only be applied. where trees are removed for cause Mr. Anderson advises that rroperty uwners seldom use the proper type of tree in making replacements. A motion was made and carried that the council be asked to appoint a committee, composed of two citizens, having knowledge of trees or trie planting, to act in an ad- visory capacity with the superintendent of narks in an endeavor to determine the species of trees best suited for the purpose, also that the City assume full control in making replacements, as well as of the cost incidental thereto, in order to insure uniformity. Where new pub -divisions are being developed it was the conclusion of the Commission that the kind of trees to be used as well as the distance apart should have the approval of the ?ark Commission.
