ARBOR DAY. 11 



on such Monday, shall become due and be payable on the 

 day thereafter. 



STATUTORY ENACTMENTS. 



Since the inauguration of Arbor Day, liberal (both con- 

 stitutional and statutory) provisions have been made in 

 Nebraska. A clause in the existing constitution provides, 

 " That the increased value of lands by reason of live 

 fences, fruit and forest trees grown and cultivated thereon, 

 shall not be taken into account in the assessment thereof." 



The following statutory enactments are now in exist- 

 ence (Chapter 2, Agriculture) : 



SEC. 3. That the corporate authorities of the cities and 

 villages of the state of Nebraska shall cause shade trees to 

 be planted along the streets thereof. 



SEC. 4. For the above purpose a tax of not less than 

 one dollar, nor more than five dollars, in addition to all 

 other taxes, shall be levied upon each lot adjacent to 

 which the trees are to be planted as aforesaid and collected 

 as other taxes. 



SEC. 5. Trees shall be annually planted, when prac- 

 ticable, on each side of one-fourth of the streets in each 

 city and village in the state of Nebraska, until all shall 

 have shade trees along them not more than twenty feet 

 apart.
