SAVE THE TREES
For many years -the custom of cutting away all trees i the roadways has prevailed among property owners and county commissioners along the highways.
I respectfully suggest that these property owners and commissioners allow the native iirees, especially mesquite, huisachio catarae, and live oak to grow at intervals along the highways, thus protecting the paving, furnishiifig shade, and beautifying same and in no way detracting from the farming value of the land.
This would, to a great extent, save much expense in lessening the number of trees to be planted and cared for later on.
Will you, as a friend of the highways, recommend this to the land.owners and commissionerO along the line of your Highway Division ?
Re sp-set fully,
