Flower and Fruit Traffic. —In consequence of the rapid 
growth of the French fruit and flower traffic for London a 
special daily service of steamers is now being run from Calais 
to Dover, and the consignments are so heavy that they are 
expected to exceed last season’s huge total of half a million 
packages, with a value of £120,000. 
Preservation of Trees on the Aigburth Road. Some 
months ago a meeting was held of residents of the Aigburth and 
Grassendale district interested in the scheme for securing the 
preservation, of the trees on the Aigburth Hoad. At this meeting 
a committee was appointed, and on the 24th ult. the executive of 
this commitee met at the office of Mr. R. W. Leyland to consider 
steps to be taken to secure the desired object. In the unavoid¬ 
able absence of Sir A. L. Jones (the chairman), Mr. G. li. 
Hewitt, the vice-chairman, presided, and there was present a 
large and influential representation of the committee. The sub¬ 
ject was fully considered, and various schemes suggested. It 
was pointed out that a number of trees had already been re¬ 
moved in the course of building operations in the neighbourhood 
of Aigburth, and the great desirability was urged of preserving 
as many as possible of those still remaining. It was considered 
desirable that an influential deputation should be appointed to 
urge upon the Health Committee of the City Council the views 
of the residents of the district. Eventually the following reso¬ 
lutions were unanimously passed : —“ That, having regar,, to the 
fact that Aigburth and Garston are now incorporated with Liver¬ 
pool, and to the rapid increase of building in the district, the 
time has, in the opinion of this committee, arrived when it is 
desirable, in order (1) to prevent the wholesale destruction of 
trees along the Aigburth Road, and to preserve the amenities of 
the district; (2) to provide for the increasing traffic between 
Liverpool and Garston—of which the Aigburth Road is the only 
outlet, that steps should be taken to widen the Aigburth Road, 
and if possible provide a boulevard which would be the means 
of preservin'? the trees.” “That a deputation be appointed to 
wait upon the Health Committee to lay the views of the in¬ 
habitants of the district before such committee. ’ “ That a copy 
of the resolutions be sent to the Town Clerk with a request for an 
interview.”
