road or between the curb lines and property lines of any street
in an incorporated town in this State.

15-C. When the County Commissioners or the Road Super-
visors of any County of this State, the State Roads Commission,
the Town Council of any city or incorporated town, or any or-
ganization or person 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 instruct the local Forest Warden
to examine the situation where planting, care, or protection of
trees is desired and to report the conditions with his recommen-
dations 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 re-
quired operations with his recommendations and an estimate
of the cost of the work to the organization or person from which
the application originated.

15-D. 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 applica-
tion 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 assurance that such 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 in-
corporated 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 provisions of this Act.

15-E. The State Forester may, in his discretion, without
being requested as provided in Section 15-C hereof, or guaran-
