The continual rains OF tho last few weeks
have made pedestrians who carry umbrel-
las realize that the shade trees overhanging
the walks in johnson square, as well as In
other portions OF the city, are in need of
trimming. The limbs hang down so low
that in several places they are hardly above
mans head and never fail to catch the
umbrella of the hurrying pedest ian. A
shower Of water from the dripping limbs
upon the pedestrians back is the re-
suit aud sometimes a torn umbrella. 1t
would add greatly to the appearance Of the
square II toe trees were trimmed up, and
would be a grateful improvement TO the
thousands of people who use the walks
daily. The trees In n number of places Ia
the city overhang the sidewalks so low that
pedestrians have TO stoop TO pass under
them.
