LITTLE MONEY FOR THE TREES.
Tree Warden Cornell Explains why
They Have Been Neglected.
Editor Evenlnf Sentinel.
Dear Sir: In your Issue of the lath,
someone under the initials J, It. l..
propounds the question as to tho
whereabouts of the tree warden.
would answer .I. ll, I..'thut the il'ut‘
warden Is alive and attending to the
duties of the otllce as fully as the
meagre appropriation will allow. ’I‘ln-
condition of the foliage upon tho trot-s
is not the. fault nor is it through the
neglect of the tree warden, us the
amount of money appropriated is not
enough to even trim the branches off
trees that hung over the roadways
and break carriage tops and scratch
up wagons, let alone spray the foliage
to kill the injurious insects that do
so much damage. And again the mon-
cy appropriated is only meant to be
spent in the town, outside the city
limits, as each city in the town has
the care nmi control of the trees wltlr
In its limits.
Docs .I. ll. 1.. know the amount of
money appropriated for the cam of
the trees in the town? If not I beg to
Inform him that the munlilccnt sum of
two hundred dollars is the sum up
propriatcd, while Iiridgeport keeps a
tree warden with assistants going the
year around. The town of Danbury
yearly appropriates from $800 to 81,-
000. Last year I sprayed every street
tree In South Norwulk, which was paid
for by the city. and kept them in lino
condition, considering that they u'crc
only sprayed once. which should he
done twice. This year I appeared
before the City Council and submit»
ted an estimate for spraying the trees,
but it was laid upon the table and not
taken up again. Was this my neglect?
And at the present time, the only
trees that are in. good condition are
trees that l sprayed and treated at
private expense. Last spring I up
neared before the Town lioard of I-ls-
timate and Taxation anti asked that
the appropriation be increased to at
least $600. That. too, was turned
down, but I did not see or hear that
J. ll. L. had attended that meeting to
urge the increased appropriation, but
now he would get out a search warrant
to Ilnd the tree warden. "l‘is the old
story after the horsc'ls stolen. lock
the barn. The damage 1s done anti
cannot be repaired this year now. as
the season is getting late and the in
sects will soon be seeking winter
quarters. unless the warm weather
should continue unusually long. but to
prevent the loss of a large number of
trees. they should be sprayed‘ next
year at least twice. I agree with .I. It.
L. that it is high time something was
done to save the beautiful trees that
the town and cities of Norwalk pos
seas, and I would be glad of the coop
eratlon of J, B. L. or other citizenit, in
bringing about a state of affairs
whereby the trees could get more at
tentlon. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH CORNELL.
