Donald MacRae on South Third street yesterday, according to a member of the Wilmington Tree and Park Commission, should serve to call the attention of citizens, to the saving of their trees from decay. In this connection, it was pointed out that little decayed places can be quickly treated by tree surgeon, but if neglected the process of rotting continues rapidly, the cost of saving the trees increases at the rate of from 10 to. 25 per cent each year. Many trees which present an outward healthy appearance are in critical condition because of internal decay. A little chiseling will often reveal such a condition to a tree surgeon at once.

Millions of fine trees die anually, according to experts in tree surgery, the -average person is unable to see the presence of disease and decay before it is too late to save the tree's life. In thisonnection, the member of the City Tree and Park Commission referred toabove, made the following statement in which he commended the members of City Council for the interest which they have manifested in conserving the trees and ornamental, shrubbery of the city: "The members of the City Council are to be highly commended for the interest which they have manifested in the Designs and Estimates Cordially "Submitted. flThe locket a grand parent wore is just as pretty today, if it is reworked in th manner necessary.
