r.pcrt Will ICndenvor to Save
Tree PI 1111 ted Hy Washington
KHKHKHICKBritG. Va., (AP)
j Martin Pavey, famous tree sur
; geon and congressman from Ohio,
has volunteered his personal ser
vices to help save for posterity the
j last of the 13 lioriw chestnut trees
which George Washington planted
'hero to represent the 13 original
I colonies.
1 The tree, slowly dying because
of Us great age and the inroads of
the chestnut blight, is located on
the property of John F. Scott,
which was formerly a portion of
the Kenmorc estate, the home of
1 Hetty Washington Lewis, sister of
; George Washington. It ha.- been
viewed by thousands of visitors
.during the course of more than a
century.
Congressman Jiavoy has made a
I preliminary examination of the
tree and stated that he would glad
ly undertake the work of minis
J i ring to its ills t his own expen
se. The cost of restoring the tree
is estimated at about $400.
