CENTER LOSES TWO OF
ITS FINE TREES
Citizens have noted with a feel
ing of sadness that two of the large
trees on Central park have been cut
down. They realize that the Center
would never look the same without
its trees, and two less is quite no
ticeable. An investigation showed that the
trees were rotten at the base and
were considered dangerous. This
having been the case, they had to
be removed, although the wood
seemed to be in good condition
throughout most of the old sen
tinels. Now there are two trees less; how
about planting others in their place?
It will be only a matter of time
when the same fate is in store for
the other trees at the Center, and
if no new ones are planted to take
the place of those which have to
be removed from time to time, in the
course of time the Center will be
a bare and dreary spot rather than
a place of beauty. Trees have been
planted on Central park in the past
and could be done again.
No tree could be removed from
Boston Common without the plant
ing of another to take lis place; and
when the nearby Public Gardens
were laid out a generation or bo ago
the first thought, was to insure a
sufficiency of trees, despite the fact
that the spot is in the center of the
Boston business dislrict.
Visitors to Detroit have marvelled
at the magnificent display of fine
trees in the downtown public
squares, which are numerous in that
city. The city is zealous that they
be maintained at their present
beauty and none, is ever removed
without the planting of another.
Of course there is no direct
monetary or commercial benetlt
from tn.s in downtown narks.

llailloid railroad lias srh-n it
,n. I
oul
that It Is necessary for the railroetd
the ; ii operate buss's in order to main
tain i's ir.eome. Some inter, s' of
or the ptate wi n li-'lp'-d to linan-
cm- , t i-io company in tn'etin: its Euro-
the opinion that if the railroad is
forced to lose a profitable slice of
Ha passenger business to busses, the
freight rates may need to bo raised.
On the other hand, the legal point
whether the railroad has a right to
operate busses through a subsidiary
company tho New England Trans
portation company - has not yet
been determined. The last Lcgisla
t "re gave the railroad company the
right to operate busses between
cities It already serves. Hut the com
pany, Instead of following this legis
lative mandate, saw fit to set up a
separate company. The point now
Is, does tliie come under the privilege
granted by tho Legislature, or is
the New England Transportation
company to be regarded as a separ
ate company, even though It may
be wholly financed by the railroad?
It may bo that one of the reasons
why the railroad company formed
the separa'e bus company was to
circumvent the limitations of the
legislative grant curtailing railroad
bus service to towns along its line.
Tho New England Transportation
company has been bidding for
routes off some of the towns served
by the railroad.
To grant the railroad's bus com
pany priority rights merely In order
to enable It to maintain its earn
ing capacity would be going a little
far. When the New Haven had a
monopoly of southern New England
transportation Its popularity wa
greatly loss than It Is today, when
independent bus lines and truck
lines have entered the field.
The thing for the railroad to do
is to give better service than the
Independents, and welcome their
competition to show that it can do
this. The present attltuda favoring
a monopoly is too much like a
spoiled child wishing to have its
way regardless of anyone else.
PITTING BITVMIJiors
OX THE MAP
By "on the may map," of course,
New England Is meant. Sundry rep
resentatives of West Virginia
bituminous coal Interests held a
meeting in Boston the other day
with the avowed purpose of wooing
N'cw England away from the use of
anthracite. It was pointed out that
until recent years anthracite coal
was in common use in Chicago and
environs as a domestic fuel but now
there is none used at all and tho
same holds true of most of the mid
dle weet. What was done In Chica
go and environs likewise can be
done in New England, it was stated.
Hence a vast "campaign of edu
cation." The, present anthracite
strike comes as an opportune time
to drill New Knglanders Into the
knowledge that low volatile bitumin
ous coal is not. only a first class sub
stitute for high-priced anthraeile,
but. has some distinct advantages.
All that is needed by the public is
experience In handling it. So far as
the coal dealers are concerned, it is
said they may be content to handle
bituminous coal, and that it will
make no great difference to them.
The anthracite strike in Pennsyl
vania seems likely to be a permanent
blow to the anthracite industry if
this sort nf tiling develops. New
England had remained the citadel
of its prosperity if the. bituminous
i fellows snceeerl in undermining the
! industry in this tier of states and
supplant i" with tlnir West A'irgtnia
jcoa!--tn other words, if they suc
' eec'l in ge'tinir the people accustom
ed to using bituminous they (the
I people) may be content to use it
n when there is no anthracite I
strike on hand to force such use.
Meanwhile Presid"iit. Coolidgc
continues to aan l pal regarding the
anthracite s.rike. lie s said to lie
disgusted with both sides In the
controversy. He will take every
possible measure to prevent suffering
as a. result of the strike, but won't
interfere. What Congress will do''-"-
about it wh. j, ni. ets in H"cen.ber p- J' r,rior ,n ,,M bctn
