Ghent, Belgium, Provides a Model For Other Cities to Follow. In dealing with the problem of con- serving shade trees on_sidewalks mu- nicipalities might well take a leaf out of the book of the Belgian city of Ghent, where tree conservation is very effectually provided for. Ordinar#ly, the shade tree where there is a pave- ment has but a poor chance of thrifty growth. Where the pavement is car- ried close to the stem of the tree the surface water supply is cut off and the health of the tree suffers. - Where an unpaved space is left around the tree the effect is unsightly, rubbish is apt to accumulate and pedestrians are inconvenienced. The Ghent plan, as noted in a report of the American consular agent in that city, is to leave a two foot space all around the tree and pave up to a flush iron ring, within which there is a re- cess receiving a sectional removabie iron grating flush with the sidewalk. The diameter of the inner ring of the g'x"ating varies according to the size of the tree to be protected. The device is said to work admirably, insuring in almost every instance the life of the tree. It is in 'such seemingly trifling de- tails as this that the municipal spirit frequently has its best manifestation. Where there is care for the lesser ad- vantages and conveniences it is a rea- sonable certainty that there is no neg- lect of the greater obligations of gov- ernment.
