We believe you will be glad to co-operate with the Commis- 
sion in protecting and preserving the trees of our city, so that 
it is hardly necessary to call your attention to Section 5 of the 
city ordinance which forbids any injury to any tree or guard pro- 
tecting the tree, on the streets of the city and provides a $50.00 
fine for those who are heedless in the matter. The practice of 
piling or placing building material against or around or upon 
tne open spaces about the trees is injurious, harmful and hurtful. 
Instruct your workmen to take a few old boards six feet long 
and make a temporary box around tree, guard, and all, as indi- 
cated in above cut, and then YOU will be safe, the TREE will be 
safe, and these “children of the city” will live and grow and 
make a grateful shade for you and your children.
