TREES FOR ROADSIDES.
Preccrvative Effect of Shado on
French Highways.
In answer to inquiries from the Unit
ed Slates, Consul General Robert P.
Skinner ol' Marseilles furnishes the
following information relative to the
L-ffiect of wayside trees on French
loads:
It is proposed to plant trees along
the roadsides of New York state in
urder to keep the moisture in the road
nud prevent raveling, and the question
lias been raised whether or not the
toots of such trees may spread out un
ierneath the road surface and
ully create great.damage iu a •\-ere
climate where there are extremes of
heat and cold. While French roads
are not always bordered with shade
trees, they are so very frequently, and
my information Is that the trees are
planted not only for furnishing shade,
but la order to protect the roads theni
relves against the effects of excessive
heat and drought. It is believed that
the long, dry summer season Is much
more inimical to roads than severe
cold. The chief officer iu charge of the
roads in Marseilles i< of the
1 INK LA' SHADED FRENCH KOAD.
opinion that, on the whole, New York
roads would be benefited if bordered
with trees, suggesting, however, that
only such should be planted as have
vertically descending roots.
F. Birot, civil engineer and former
conductor of the bureau of bridges and
highways, expresses himself as fol
lows on the subject:
"In countries where the climate is
damp roadside trees are prejudicial to
the maintenance of the highways, ns
they prevent the circulation of the air
and the drying of tlie soil. In most of
the southern French regions such plan
tation;; are, on the other hand, very
useful in dry weather, as they main
tain the roadbed in a stale of fresh
ness favorable to its conservation. Iu
general, trees should be selected with
high spreading branches, such as the
poplar, the elm, the ash, and they
should be planted generally upon the
outer edge of the roadbox and at dis
tances of 10 meters (32.50 feet). Each
tree should be placed in a hole n meter
<3.2S feet) deep and lVj meters (4.92
feet) square and should be trimmed to
a height of 2 1 A meters (8.20 feet) above
the surface.
"The earth about newly planted trees
should be loosened in March and No
vember—in March only after the third
year—and thereafter until their per
manent growth appears assured. Small
trenches should be directed toward the
foot of the trees in order to secure the
ben*!fit of rains. Finally the tree itself
should be tilimned annually during the
first ten years."
NO MAIL ON BAD ROADS.
Rurc.l Delivery to Be Discontinued on
Highways Net In Gccd Condition.
In order to secure fcorU reads on the
toutes over which rural carriers de
liver mail. Fourth As.Unuu Postmas
ter General Lie On; w lias issued a uew
regulation that mail will uot be deliv
ered on roads which are not kept iu
good condition. Some time ago the
fourth assistant i -.saul an order re
quiring postmasters at rural delivery
offices to report to the u.partmont the
number of miles or road covered lr>
rural delivery from their offices and
the names of road officials having
jurisdiction over each separate section
of road.
Letters have been sent to these roue!
officials notifying them that rural de
livery will uot be continued on roads
which are not kept iu condition to be
traveled with facility and safety at all
seasons of the year. They are request
ed to give attention to the roads as
soon as practicable. New York has
1.804 rural routes, made up of 1,029
miles of macadam road and 39.352
miles of earth, gravel and sand roads.
