The Tree Locating Committee begun the week with 
a trip through the eastern edge of the Third Ward, thence through 
nar.es of the 
the Second and First Wards. The, streets recommended by them 
for immediate planting, together with the estimated number of 
t 
trees pended, 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 least 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 shade 
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 be obtained. Among these 
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 vielnity;®±n Francis, Smith, Qrms, Ayrault 
streets, Chalkstone avenue, Candace, Goddard streets, Douglas 
avenue, Grms, Charles, West River, Corliss, Livingston, rrintery, 
Randall, Pettis, Pleasant, Knowles, Abbott, Camp streets, 
Carrington avenue, Hope, Brook, Tockwotton, iDt&V Ann streets, 
Armstrong avenue, Hope, Transit, Governor, Preston, Ives, 
Wickenden, Gano, Waterman streets. 
Very truly yours,
