Pear Mr. Kirby:- 
The Tree Locating Committee hegun the week with 
a trip through the eastern edge of the Third Ward, thence through 
names of the 
the Second and First Wards. The.streets recommended by them 
A 
for immediate planting, together with the estimated number of 
trees needed, appear on another sheet. 
Luring the trip several matters were brought up for discussion, 
of which the following seem worthy of mention as of possible use 
in connection with the publicity side of the campaign. 
Francis street, on account of its width, was considered a good 
street on which to plant elms rather than maples, as, also, was 
the lower end of Smith street. The committee deemed it wise to 
attempt no planting on this street, at leant not until information 
was available as to whether the officials in charge of the State 
House grounds had any definite plans In regard to planting shad© 
trees, either on the edge of the grounds or on the adjoining 
streets. 
Several streets were considered for planting if the number of 
trees desired by the committee could bo obtained. Among those 
were Esten, Violet, Ayrault, Peking streets in the Third Ward, 
and Randall street in the Second. 
The committee’s trip took them over the following named streets 
and the immediate vicinity Francis, Smith, Orms, Ayrault 
streets, Chalkstone avonue, Candace, Goddard streets, Douglas 
avenue, Ormo, Charles, West F.iver, Corliss, Livingston, Printery,
