Mr. Beauchamp of the St. Louis Beautification Commission has informed the Skinker-DeBaliviere Beautification Committee, headed by Mrs. Blanche Reel, that trees are now available to be planted along DesPeres and DeBaliviere Boulevards. A pollution resistant, conical-shaped, red maple has been selected for the planting this spring. The trees are supplied by the Beautification Commission and planted free of charge. They will be maintained by the St. Louis City Forestry Division.
