Control of Street Trees The Imperial Civic Improvement View
The Civic Improvement club urges a uniform municipal ordinance for street tree planting in the fourth ward.

He cites Washington DC as a model of unified planning and warns Iowa towns lack parking width regulation, risking tree health and street aesthetics.
