How IL was Celebrated at Westford
USDHRfILL, Nav 9Th 1884

uSDERnILL, May 9Th, 1884.
To the Editor of the Free Press and lines.
Lately while visiting friends in Wcslford
found myself there On the q st OF May, Tie
day appointed as "Arbor Day" at the March
meeting Of that town.
n committee of fifteen was appointed at
that meeting and was instructed to lay uu
upon the town common suitable avenues and
take charge OF the setting OF trees upon it.
This Common is piece OF ground of be-
tween five aud six acres, some fifteen rods in
breadth at the lover end, widening irregular
ly until it becomes some seventy rods across
at the upper end and is about eighty long
This piece OF land is broken reIr the cenJre
by Il ledge of I cks running across, above
which are some two acres Of ground eicvnt-
| ed some fifty feet above the lower part OF
the common.
Streets come in from different parts Of the
town al both of these upper corners aud
Nature has provided place for both Of
| them to wni over the rocks at just the right
point, turning gracefully in a diagonal
direction to tine lower corners, crossing each
other near the centre of the lower part Of
| with one on each side and each end Of the
common, cut it up into several irregular
| parks, giving vari 'ty and beauty to The
whole. such, in short, is nm outline of tie
| plan adopted by the committee. Two days
| before Arbor Day some thirty teams aud
| from thirty to forty men, all volunteers,
rlOughet, narrowed, smOOlht d AID put in
order the entire common.
On the day appointed the ground WAS lit
orally covered with men sitting trees and
several Loads, winch were not edrd, were
