TREES HELP BEAUTIFY THE VILLAGE
With the advent of spring the Village Beautification Committee and
its chairman, Mrs. Paul Schubert, remind all residents that the
planting of curb trees is governed by village ordinance. Please
contact the Village Clerk at FR 8-4000 before planting a tree at
the curb.
Only certain species are permitted, to avoid problems with utility
lines, pipes or sidewalk areas. These include the Crab Apple (of
the Eleya variety only), Dogwood, London Plane, Sycamore Maple,,
and White Oak.
The Beautification Committee asks'all residents who have new trees
at the curb to help sustain the trees during the critical early
growth by frequent watering during dry periods. The committee has
arranged for the planting of many new trees, in cooperation with
civic organizations.
