A Street Tree System for New York City 89 



could be done to permit new planting at fifty-foot intervals 

 with young trees. After a few years when the new trees 

 have attained a fair size the remaining old maples could be 

 removed, and would be scarcely missed. 



There are no park areas worth mentioning at present 

 existing in Richmond, so that no attempt has been made to 

 suggest any system of tree planting as has been done for 

 Manhattan. Doubtless in the near future a well organized 

 park system will be worked out for this borough, and at 

 that time a system of streets for tree planting should be 

 decided upon to form those park connections which it is 

 not possible to secure by parkways, and boulevards.
