(See Story, Page 1) Big, Old Black Oak Tree Felled Here A black oak tree, so large and so situated that it took 2Vj days to cut it down, was removed last week from 722 North Riverside avenue. Rings of the tree, which had four trunks at the base and then fused into one, indicate that the tree, is Just under 100 years old. The rings vary in width, with some about twice as wide as oth ers, which according to the tree fallers, shows that some years were twice as dry as the others. The tree measured eight feet in width and was estimated at 90 feet in height. In addition to the 2Vi days used in cutting down the tree. the toppers spent 4V4 hours Sat urday night, May 17, by flood lights taking precautionary mea sures to avoid having one of the trunks from damaging the house at that address. One trunk al ready had fallen to the back of the yard and one was giving away toward another home. The men working on the tree with GOOD LOCKS TOP QUA13TY! PRICES CUT FOR SALE!
