The waste, the division said, amounted to between 30 and 50 per cent of the 3,500,000 trees shipped to market during the Christmas season. It blamed overcutting by wholesalers, par ticularly those who imported trees from other states, high prices and retailing of trees by inexperienced persons. The division urged enactment of a law to license tree whole salers and requiring that each individual tree be taxed two J cents. I Many Christmas tree lots In cities were operated "by recent ly discharged veterans who had been led to believe by whole- salrs that the Christmas tree business was an ideal opportun ity for quick turnover and easy profits." a division report pre pared by Investigator J. D Raf ferty said. STREET PROJECT PLANNED AT G. P.
