OUR TREES AND BOULEVARDS For some years Exeter has been noted for its beauty because so many of our citizens rake a great pride in their homes and surround­ ings Just now some of them are disheartened as they look at their boulevards that are So easily disfig­ ured while the ground is so soft. Those who have done the damage just did it thoughtlessly in driving on the grass. Deep ruts are cut which are difficult to efface and of­ ten never become as level again thus ruining lawn mower knives and causing their owners to have them sharpened frequently. Some of these boulevards have cost their owners considerable in time and money. One of them was built up with almost 80 loads of earth. 'This is so costly that owners na­ turally look after it with jealous care. In some cases tf is only a corner that is cut off by drivers tC’lio turn too quickly but the boulevard is spoiled. Recently some one drove into a homo and tied his horse to a tree with'the result that a large piece of bark was peeled off by the horse. Owners of these boulevards and trees do not wish to complain too strongly but they do dislike to see a summer’s work ruined because someone was so thoughtless as to drive an automobile or a horse and rig over his lawn. Shall we not all co-operate to increase the beauty of our little gem of a town. How about those New Years reso­ lutions?
