How to Do it 



If you are prompted by civic pride to become the moving spirit in the 

 realization of your street beautiful, proceed in this way: 



1 . Consult the Park Deparment, determine how many trees on your 

 street are worthless or dangerous and ask the Park Department to remove 

 them. 



2. Determine how many trees are needed assuming that they are to 

 be planted at distances of thirty feet. 



3. Find how many house numbers there are on your street or block 

 and determine how much each property owner should be taxed. 



4. Apply to this Association for a form of contract and the names of 

 reliable nurserymen who will furnish estimates. 



With the necessary data at hand you can approach your neighbors 

 and ask them to contribute their share. You may even call a meeting and 

 have a general discussion of the matter under leadership of representatives 

 from this Association. With your neighbors pledged, get to work at once 

 to procure the planter and trees.
