FORESTER FOR PARK
BUREAU IS ADVISED
Mr. Brewster in Report on
Public Affairs Department
Advocates Changes.
MORE FOUNTAINS ASKED
Appointment of Deputy . In Legal
Bureau to Do Nothing but Pre
pare Ordinances Is Crged
to Remedy Trouble.
t.ii. f ik nnantlon of the Mu
nlclpal Department of Public Affairs
under City Commissioner Brewster
durlns 1914, ara snown in jar.
Dr-.-t.x. annual reoort sent yester-
j.- r-it- Auditor Barbur. The report
includes the -workings of the Park
Bureau, the Local Bureau, tne ny
Hall Bureau, the Bureau ol weigrnia
and Measures and the Free Employ
ment Bureau.
The report of the Legal Bureau
r hows that S7 formal written opinions
and 1121 other official communications
and a daily average of 16 oral opinions
was the record for the year. These
transactions were in addition to the
A Miirt wnrk and work
vui " -
of preparing contracts and other legal
documents.
Because of the trouble experienced
bv the Council with improperly drawn
ordinances, Mr. Brewster recommends
in his report that a deputy be appoint
ed to do nothing else but prepare ordi
nances. Deputies Declared Overworked.
At . present." says Mr. Brewster,
"this wort- is performed by the deputy
who is least pressed by other work, and
the result is that there is a wide variety
in stylo of expression, and. worse still,
many overlapping ordinances full of
contradictions. The City Attorney re
ports that the work of the office is
more nearly up to date than formerly.
This is true, but the deputies are over
worked and should have relief."
In the report of the Park Bureau Mr.
Brewster recommends in addition to
many park and playground improve
ments a continuance of the system of
planting shade trees along streets. He
slso urges that a trained forester be
employed to cira for the trees now
planted and to be planted.
"About three miles of trees were
planted in 1914." reads the report.
-With the exception of two or three
persoi s this action seems to meet with
the approval of the public When the
Bureau plants the trees it takes care
of them, and it is expected that this
policy will be followed until the num
ber of trees has been Increased large
ly in neighborhoods otherwise entire
ly destitute of planting and that the
future will justify the small expense
which is necessary for this limited
work. No satisfactory plans as to this
rubject have been settled upon because
of the large expense which would be
necessary if the city undertakes to
control the planting, care and removal
of all the street trees in the city.
Keed e-f Forester Is Shown.
"In other parts of the. United
States municipalities spend as much
as J50.000 in the care of their
trees. While we may look forward to
.such a condition, at present it seems
wise to limit ourselves to the planting
d care of trees in the newer locali
ties, wa'ting for a more enlightetfed
and generous public opinion to permit
the expenditure of large sums of mon
ey. It Is. however, most desirable that
a trained forester be obtained to care
for what wo have, and this compara
tively small expense, I believe, the
public would approve."
Mr. Brewster advised in his report
the establishment as soon as possible
of more comfort stations in the busi
less center and additional drinking
fountains.
That small resting places or park
ing centers be established along Ter
wllllger boulevard and that the ap
proach at the end of Sixth street be
Improved, also is advocated.
