and in fact every body interested in the
appearance of our town have reason tC
feel indignat over the manner in whict
some of the beautiful trees on that
street have been mutilated and dis6gur
ed by those who are putting up the
electric wires. In stringing their wires
they took the liberty of going at it il
the most convenient way, disregardine

right to put in poles along the street:

men the privilege of destroying thu

trees were cut feel the outrage deeply
and more so because it could hav,
been avoided.
