Trees Will Re Saved
The city council will take steps to
save a number of grand onk trees that
line State street. Some of the trees
have begun to die, apparently, and the
matter of having the causes of the de
cay investigated was taken up by the
city fathers Monday night. The trees
will be scientifically pruned.
It is thought that the hard surface
placed on the streets has prevented the
oaks from securing their usual mois
ture. Measures will be taken for arti
