Park and Street Tree Planting
Thus far in the fall of 1978, 130 street trees have been planted in
College Station. This is the result of the adoption by the City Council
of the street tree plan presented by Dr. Micheal Murphy of Texas A&M
University. The funding of street tree purchases has come through the
revenue sharing budget. A total of $1024.00 has been spent from the
$1600.00 total budget.
In an attempt to replace dead trees and fill in open areas, tree planting.
in city parks has also begun this fail. Currently, 58 trees have been
planted in six parks at a cost of $649.99. This has been expended from the
total park tree budget of $2040.00. Planting for both streets and parks
will continue in early spring with a goal of approximately 300 trees to be
planted this budget year. This goal is about the number of trees that can
effectively be watered during dry periods.

be satisfied with their domes. Steve said the bid on the dome cover will be on the
