The City is looking for something larger <br />than seedlings and they have just recommended more frost <br />resistant varieties. He noted that the sites they have listed in <br />their proposal are more protected and have not frozen. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired if the Game & Fish Commission <br />ever got into completely removing the pines and doing a project, <br />and Mr. Barnett explained that if you do that,,you instantly get <br />a pepper tree forest. Their project creates an understory, and <br />then the natural production of the pines ceases. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />70 <br />
