Tic aggregate of private contributions
reach many thousands month. In some
Instances chccks'for rs great sum As $40,

Citizens Call a Halt In the Tree Cutting
Business.


There seems to be a determined effort
on the part of the citizens generally not
to allow those beautiful elms to be re-
moved In front of the estate OF the late
Robert Rogers, recently purchased Dy
DIR. Hasbroucs, notwithstanding that
the Council at a special meeting voted TO
grant him the privilege OF removing one
SO az to enable him an opportunity to
remove tho building, now standing
there, thus giving him an opportunity to
erect a block. The Council has the right
TO grant the petition which they did,
but there seems TO be a much greater
obstacle in the way, which the petition
or will have to remove and In the opin-
ION OF legal men the Council has no
jurisdiction to cut down any property
that belongs TO any corporation or pri-
vate individual, without first consult
ing them, and after that it must be prov
ed that it is q detriment to the interest
OF the town.
From a general outlook 1t will be
some time before this acr OF the Coun-
Gil can be put into execution.
