COUNCIL PROVIOG FOB CITYFORESTER By Vote of 3 to 2 Taylor Ordinance Insuring Care of Shade Trees Is Passed City Council by a vote of 3 to 2 this afternoon adopted the Taylor city for ester ordinance. Commissioners Taylor, Bowman and Lynch voted for, and Mayor Royal and Commissioner Gorgas voted against it. The ordinance provides for the ap pointment of a "city forester," who shall have charge of "and supervise the selection, planting, trimming, maintenance, protection and removal of shade trees" in the streets and in the city parks. Any assistants he mav need other than what can be supplied by the Park Department must be ap pointed by Council. The forester will be under the jurisdiction of the De partment of Parks and his compensa tion shall not exceed SI,OOO. The measure was adopted following a brief discussion on the merits of the forester ordinance over the shade tree law. which it substitutes. Com missioner Taylor incidentally ex plained the new ordinance. Got Idea From McFarland "Some opposition, it seems, has been directed against the city forester ordi nance, said he. "However. I got my thought on the subject from the re marks J. Horace McFarland made in his talk before us, a few weeks ago. "The shade tree law was passed in 1907, but very few cities have adopted it. It may have merit, but there seems to be considerable opposition to it. That was one of my motives in sug gesting the city forester ordinance in stead. Another is that the citv for ester measure undergoes all the ex pense incident to the removal, plant ing, care, and so forth, of the trees. "Some question has been raised be cause it gives too much power to the forester. Why the forester must be a man of ability, and if he is such a man he ought to have ample power. He must be a man of technical knowledge and practical training." "After all." declared Mr. Tavlor in conclusion, "the main object is the csu-e ot the trees, isn't it? Then what difference does it make as to the method —as to whether the city for ester is under the jurisdiction' of a shade tree commission or the cltv Park Department?" Nobody in View for Job Mayor Royal questioned whether a IV .7 18 " coul<l be obtained for SI,OOO Mr. Taylor explained that that was the salary to start with and that it the man merited more money he would command more money. Xo ap pointee was in view, he said, but he r , ed . Council that the man who would be named would have to be a competent one, whose testimonials anil other credentials as to qualifications I would be carefully looked into. Mr T a> >or denied that he objected to the shade tree law on the ground of the possible personnel of the commission This personnel, he said, would at anv : rate have to be named by the Councill The Civic Club sent a communica tion to Council urging the appoint- I ment of a shade tree commission. Mayor Royal had a resolution to that . efiect in his pocket, but he never pro- i duced it. I didn't get a chance," he said, smilingly. Church Wants Fire Protection The trustees of the Second Baptist Church. Cameron and State streets,, asked Council to provide some safe guard against possible lire because of the proximity of a junkshop. Council j will take up the question with the City | Solicitor. The paving assessment for the Sixth Street United Brethren Church was also authorized. Council passed a resolution trans ferring to a fund for taking up the necessary bonds for the paving of Front street from Maclav to Division street to the extent of $22,000. This money had been appropriated and if I the city ever loses out in a suit brought by property owners for half the street assessment the money will be ready. It the city wins, the money will be paid back. FATAL FIGHT OX TRAIN By Associated Press Sandusky. Ohio. Dec. 1.
