PASSAGE THROUGH A TREE.
A Curious Way of Saving an Old
Landmark in BellevlIle.

1t was announced a week ago that one
of the most notable trees in this country
was doomed by the march of improve
ment. 1t is a huge and aged sycamore, or
buttonball, standing in the middle of the
sidewalk in Stephen street, Belleville.
Records show this tree to be at least $50
years old, and in that time it has grown
to a diameter of seven feet at the putt.
The sycamore is invariably a picturesque
tree, and his is one of the most pic
turesque of sycamores.
Contractor Mccain, who is engaged up
on the task of widening and Strengthening
Stephen street, decided that the tree must
monarch would be ~overthrown, for there
is little of that sort of sentiment in
Belleville which would move to save a
tree when there is plenty to talk about in
the political field.
There was one man who loved the tree
enough to go the contractor with the ia
miliar lines, "Woodman, spare, etc." 1t
shop is on the corner of William and
Stephen streets. and is overshadowed by
the big tree. He is a good singer, and he
endered the old poem so well that tears
came into Contractor McCann's ayes,
and he promised to "touch not a single
bough," but said he would have to do
something to the old trunk, and finally
it. This will muse the children and sat
isfy their elders, as it will probably a V

electric lighting plant is completed an in

on each side of the tree.

DR.. Lampson and Mr.. Heck on
Lehigh Valleys Communi-
paw Avenue Crossing.

A largely attended meeting of the La
fayette Citizens Association was held
last evening at the Wigwam. DR.. Nor
timer Lampson presided.
The committee appointed to look after
the long delayed improvement and eX-
tension of Bramhall avenue and to urge
upon the city authorities the great neces-
sity of its early commencement reported
that the delay was attributable to the
mislaying of the papers by the clerk OF
the Street and Water Board, blu the
committee was assured that there Will
be no further delay.
The Committee on Railroad Obstruc-
lions and Grade Crossings simply report
ed progress. They nav placed in cir
culation for signatures a combined Pc
tition and protest to the city author1-
ties against granting to the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad Company the privilege OF
crossing C-ommunipaw avenue at grade.
Many signatures are being affixed by
citizens whose standing is calculated TO
have weight with the city authorities.
President Lampson expressed himself
very earnestly against all grade cross
ings as detrimental to the general inter
ests of the city. He made a strong IN
m that the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company Should not be allowed to cross
C-ommunipaw avenue at grade, but should
be compelled to elevate its tracks. Com
munipaw avenue, the doctor said, IS the
oldest thoroughfare in Hudson County,
and it, if no other street, should be kept
free from encroachment, but already It's
water front has been taken by a corpora
ton, cutting off the peoples right to a
free connection with the water, now
it is proposed to further encroach upon
what is and should be ever held as pup
lie property by laying rails across the
avenue at grade.
Mr.. ohm J. Heck, although opposed to
grade crossings, thought there was mucD
in favor of the railroad company get
ting what it wants. What corporations
want, they generally get, and the best
the best terms possible. The higher the
kick against their proportions the
higher the ante. 1t is not good policy
sion, as that brings business and in
creased prosperity to all parts of the
country. and under reasonable restric-
ions railroad companies should be given
all that is really necessary for them tc
have; but they should be compelled to

the public travel there being SO small
that the proposed tracks will cause no
material obstruction. He was not pre-
& pared to fully admit this contention. but
thought it advisable for the city to keep
