PINES IN KELVIN STREET

City Council Decides On Removal Most of the tall pine trees between Kelvin street and Queen’s Park are: to be removed. The City Council reached this decision last night after considering a report from the conservator of forests for Southland, Mr J. The conservator stated that he had inspected the belt of trees and was ot the opinion that they were over mature, a number being already dead and liable to up-root in the near future. He was of the opinion that the trees should be removed with the exception of some younger and smaller trees growing immediately inside the high macrocarpa shelter at the street side. Apart from the shading effect of the trees on residences on the west side of the street, it was desirable that they should be removed as early as possible before the belt of young pines reached a height which would make it impossible to remove the large trees without doing severe damage to this belt. He understood that Mr W. Stapleton, officer in charge of the city’s reserves desired that the trees between Victoria Avenue and Earnslaw street should remain intact to provide shelter for the city nurseries, and in his opinion this belt could remain with the exception of some dangerous trees which it was desirable to remove. In the course of a report on the subject Mr Stapleton. said that he had checked over the area and had f°n nd that fully 260 of the trees had definitely reached maturity and were dying back.
