I asked different ones what they were doing that for and they said the county was doing It as they wanted to put in side walks and the trees were in the road. I have lived in large cities and have seen many sidewalks that curved around big trees and 1 thought they were lovely. I wish those responsible for doing this, had lived where I did when I was a child. There were no trees to speak of only along a river. A tree to me Is almost hu man. I have always felt that those large, beautiful trees on Eagle Point's main street helped the town very much. When you think of the years they have spent to grow where they have, why not let them live on? If some large limbs were in the way they could be sawed off neatly and not mar the looks of the tree. So I say, woodman, whoever you are, spare the trees. (Name on file). Court Records Justice Court Aaron Durham, passing with insufficient clearance, fine $2.50 and costs. James A.
