Person Who Owns Tree Also
Owns Branches, Fruit, Nuts
Dear Ann: We moved to this
neighborhood two months ago
and want to Set along with the
next door. I know this is a trif
ling matter, but it's causing a lot
of trouble. Please print the
answer so they will see it.
We have two walnut trees in
the backyard. The branches ex
tend over the fence and some of
the walnuts fall on to the neigh
bor's property. Do these fallen
nuts belong to us or to the neigh
bor? Con Nuts.
Deer Cone: Your "trifling
nutter" took up eight hours of
research by on of th coun
try's top law firms. You are
getting $500 worth of advic for
th pric of this newspaper.
' Th man who owns th tree
also owns th overhanging
branches and th fruit or nuts
from se.no.
Your neighbor may trim th
branches that overhang his
property if, in his udgmnt
thy constitute nulsanc. He
may also pick up th fallen
fruit or nuts. But he may not
at them. Mil them or decor,
at his horn with them. H
can only throw thm away.
If h decides to trim th over
hanging branch he may not
climb th free or plac a ladder
against that tr without th
permission of th wnr, this
constitutes trespassing.
In brief, th men who own
th land on which th tr
trunk stands, also owns all
fruits or nuts produced by that
tree, and th neighbor may not
us them for his benefit.

Dear Ann Landers: My girl
friend and I are both 16. We go
out quite often with two broth
ers, 16 and 17 years old. They are
nice but they have one small
fault and we would like your ad
vice. After we get into a pirca parlor
of i drive In for a hamburger or
even a drugstore for a soda, they
pretend they are broke. This al
ways happens after we have or-
deced. .Then they borrow money
from us to pay the check. They
never pay us back, which means
we end up paying for ourselves
and them, too.
My fellow has a parttime job
ushering in a theater and his
brother works in a super market
after school, so we know they
have some money. Do they do this
to be cute or are they just cheap
skates? What is your advice?

Dear Ann: Our seven-year-old
daughter is scared to death of
dogs. When she was two, a large
dog jumped on her and bit her
arm. Since then she goes into
hysterics whenever a dog comes
near her.
If I'm walking with her and
we see a dog she begs me to pick
her up and carry Iter. Well, Ann.
I can't carry a seven-year-old
child around in my arms. And
what about when she gets old

him, pat him and feed him.

Dar Ann: My husband and I
are only children. We have been
married three years and have two
little boys. Both sets of parents
livtj .within walking distance of

Since we have no brothers or
sisters, our parents live for us
and their grandchildren. In the
last awo years mv husband has
had wo wonderful opportunities
to improve our financial status
and advance in the firm where
he is. employed.
Both his parents and mine have
told us they would be heartbrok
