TREES IN THE SUBFRISS.
[To THE Enron or rpm bererrrox.")
SIR,—Although most of us would prefer to have too many trees than too few, Dime is sound wisdom in what your correspondents have said as to " the exclusion of air end sunshine " by too many trees—especially near dwellings. One of the most interesting views you could get from the top of a London tramcar would be between the north side of Blatekfriars Bridge, along the Thames Embank- ment, to the north side of Westminster Bridge—it you could see but the motudonotts avenue of phone-trees effectually screens the view of the spectator on melt side on long as they are in leaf. As E. H." says, when young they eau be overlooked. It would be a great improvement if every other tree were vet down, and used in makims a bomb-proof shelter Ilene Cleopatru's Needle. Even from the tree-lover's point of view, there are too many, as you. "can't see the wood for the trees," so to spank. There is sontething to be mid for hiding Hungerford Bridge—ugliest in the world; but to shut out the view of ll'uterlm's peerless stotteswork or graceful Westminster is a national blander.—I RIO, Sir, Jai., Surrey Leduc, Denmark Hill, 5.5. 5.
