MOVE LARGE TREES
III FATE OR SPRING
Paul Davey, Expert, Gives
Pointers on Obtaining
Desired Effect.
Moving large trees Is a job which
should be done in the dormant or
leafless season, according to Paul
Davey, prominent tree expert. Sum
mer or early Fall is the time to se
lect the trees - to be moved to new
locations, as it is easy then to ascer
tain Just how the tree will look when
moved to the desired spot., because
it still has foliage and Summer form,
Davey explains. He continues:
"For that matter, it is easy to tell
exactly how a residence site would
look after trees had been moved in
If you want, to go to the trouble of
taking a large picture of the grounds
end placing on that picture indi
vidual views taken on approximately
the same scale, of trees you think
Would be desirable.
Shape of Tree Important.
“There are considerations other
than mere height and breadth when
you plan tree moving. A tree of
rounded top will look well in one
place, while In another the best efTert
can be obtained with a tree of pyra
midal shape. Shape has so much
to do with the way a tree which
has been moved fits into its new loca
tion that frequently tree movers,
when they have placed a large tree
tn the excavation prepared for it
will turn it around until they find
Just how’ it looks the best before they
•tart to set it permanently.
"Another reason why it is desirable
to plan tree moving in the Fall is that
the Fall coloration of foliage is some
thing which ought to be taken into
consideration. When you have built
• home on a wooded lot you have
no choice in Fall colors. If you arc
fortunate your trees will have some
variety in Fall coloring, but if thev
•re all dull shades there is nothing
you can do about it.
Fall Coloring Definite.
“When you plan to move in one
Or more large trees, however, it
would be wise to keep Fail color in
mind, because trees have just as defi
nite a scheme of Fall coloring as
they do of leaf shapes or trunk
formation. The American elm, for
Instance, will show yellows to browns
In the Fall, while the sugar maple
will flaunt brilliant yellow, red and
orange tints. The American linden
has ordinary brown and yellow leaves
in the Fall and the sweet, gum bril
liant crimson and purple. The reason
a wooded mountain side looks in the
Fall like a tapestry woven in bright
colors is that each tree speries has
its Fall color scheme, and the mix
ture of trees gives the mixture of
colors.
"Large tree moving has become
•uch an exact science in recent years,
with the improvement, of equipment
and the extension of hard roads, that
more and more property owners are
turning to it so that they may get
the tree effects they want without
having to wait a lifetime for trees
to grow. The w’ise ones decide on just
what Improvements they want or
can afford to make, then go out in
the early Fall to pick the exact speci
mens to be moved later.”

cheapen the cost of homes as auto
mobile manufacturers have cheapened
the cost of cars Is demanded, Mc
Comack pointed out. Local commun
ities should eventually bear more of
the cost than is required by the
Wagner-Steagall bill, and the $5,000
limit for a four-room dwelling unit
should be cut to $2,500, he held.
Homes Is Sole Objective.
McCornack warned that the real
objective of a low-cost housing pro
gram is to produce safe and sanitary
dwelling units for families now' living
in insanitary and socially degrading
homes.
“It is not primarily to provide busi
i ness for manufacturers of building
materials and equipment, or to bail
out landowners who now desire to
escape the consequences of greedy
speculation, or to assure a new era for
the speculative builder, or to create
a lot of work for union labor," he
added.
“Under the recent housing program
many who composed these groups
seemed to consider that program as
established for their special benefit.
The result was that the Government
built housing for which, even with a
45 per cent grant, it was forced
arbitrarily to fix a rent which bore
no sane relation to capital cost. It
was also necessary to select tenants
with incomes above what tenants
for low-rent housing should pay—
leaving the evicted slum dwellers to
shift for themselves and. in many
cases, to Jive in worse dwellings than
they had previously occupied.
Kails Main Objective.
“The Government's program was
worth its cost, but it did not produce
the kind of housing which is essential
if we are successfully to clear our
cities of slums.
“The low-cost housing built by the
Government so far is better than that
in which many hundreds of thouands
of taxpayers can afford to live.
Through taxation they were forced to
pay for housing accommodations more
elaborate and more costly than neces
sary to serve the fundamental purposes
intended.
“In the act of 1937 Congress did
the slum dwellers of America a great
service by limiting the cost of dwelling
units to be constructed and, in ad
dition. it threw down the gauntlet to
the building industry in no uncertain
terms.
"A Nation which has grown to be
the most powerful on earth, with un
equaled natural resources, great cities,
transcontinental transportation sys
tems, electricity in all its various
forms, radio, the low-priced auto
mobile, sound motion pictures, the
electric eye and many other things in
i our great industrial system, cannot
continue to construct homes by meth
ods a century old and expect the small
taxpayers to saddle the load. They
cannot and will not do so.
Must Simplify Methods.
“In spit* of the many arguments
that the machine age is ruining our
social and economic system, we shall
no doubt be compelled to simplify and
cheapen our methods of home build
in j. It Is a well-known fart that
many of our leading automobile manu
facturers in the low-cost car field
have cut the costs of their cars in
half and improved the quality. In the
so-called low-cast housing field the
opposite has been the case.
"Our much-discussed American
standard of living, which many are
seeking to impose on housing, 1s not
the standard at all. The standard is
actually what the mass of the people
have, and that is far below what we
regard as necessary for a low-cost
housing program.
"In their youth thousands of our
leaders today in all walks of life did
not enjoy standards of living now
regarded as essential. They did have
clean and decent environments with
plenty of fresh air and recreation—and
that is what our present objective
should he. A little less social hysteria
and a little more common sense will
find a way."
Increasing local participation In
housing costs is foreseen by Mc
Cornack. "The original bill would
have made it possible under certain
conditions for localities to secure inn
per cent Government financing,” he
explained.
Ten Per Cent Cost Local.
“The bill was changed to require
local authorities to provide 10 per
rent of the cost. Facts w'hirh have
been developed indicate that the slum
areas of our cities are a serious finan
cial burden on local taxing units and
that the elimination of these areas
would greatly reduce the cost of gov
:... -
ernment In localities where there are
alums.
“It would, therefore, appear Just
to assess part of the cost locally. As
a matter of fact, the loral communities
should eventually bear more of the
cost than set up in the bill. No
doubt this will come about as the
program develops nationally and cities
find themselves better able to do so.
"During the years of the depression
the various cities looked to the Na
tional Government for aid and formed
one more bloc appealing for help from
the National Treasury. Our great
cities were developed through local
initiative and courage. When we
return to that method they will be
rebuilt In a saner and more economical
wav.''
