150. When the County Commissioners or the Road Supervisors of
any County of this State, the State Roads Commission, the Town
Council of any city or incorporated town, or any organization or per-
son shall apply to the State Forester for the planting of trees or for
the care and protection of existing trees along a public road or street,
and the State Forester deems an examination necessary he shall in-
struct the local Forest Warden to examine the situation where planting,
care, or protection of trees is desired and to report the conditions with
his recommendations to the State Forester. If, in the judgment of the
State Forester, the planting of trees or the care or protection of exist-
ing trees is advisable, he shall submit a plan covering the required
operations with his recommendations and an estimate of the cost of the
work to the organization or person from which the application origi-
nated.

1914, ch. 824.

15D. No plan of planting or care of roadside trees shall become
operative under this Section until such plan has been approved by the
organization or person making the application and not until the said
organization or person shall guarantee to the State Forester the cost of
the work, in which the said organization or person may stipulate a
maximum amount that it or he will guarantee. Upon proper assur-
ance that snch a guarantee has been given, and the planting of trees is
desired, the State Forester shall furnish to the local Forest Warden
the trees for planting from any available stock in a State Forest
Nursery or elsewhere. If the planting of trees is not required, but it
is desired to trim, spray, or otherwise care for existing trees along the
portion of the roadside or street for which a plan has been approved
by the State Forester and accepted by such organization or person, the
Forest Warden shall proceed with the work in accordance with such
plans, at such time, and in such manner as in his judgment will be
most practicable, but in executing such plans he shall work under the
direction of the State Forester. When there exists an officer in any
city or incorporated town who has been appointed for the specific pur-
pose of planting and caring for trees along roads or streets, he shall be
eligible for appointment as Forest Warden in carrying out the pro-
visions of this sub-title.

1914, ch. 824.

15E. The State Forester may, in his discretion, without being re-
quested as provided in Section 15C hereof, or guaranteed as provided
in Section 15D hereof, plant, care for, and protect roadside trees and
pay for such work out of any unexpended balance of the amount hereby
appropriated or hereafter appropriated for the purposes of this sub-
title; provided, however, that no trees shall be planted under the pro-
visions of the foregoing Sections without the consent and approval of
the owner of the land on which they are planted.
