The vote of the court of burgesses, tt
trim and remove trees that obstruct tn,
sidewalks in the different parts of tn
borough, has caused quite little tall
and feeling. The trimming of many tree
would be a great improvement, and he'll
the lighting of the streets In many places
but the removing of shade trees, especial
ly where they have reached fair growth
should be avoided wherever possible
A few of the trees that obstruct the side
walks, and have other trees in close prox

tions of streets are to be left entirel
treeless by the removal, it would b

lights are kept burning every moonles
night until twelve O'Clock, there is bu
very little excuse for trouble by an
tree that obstructs a part of the side
walk. The streets which have the mos
travel upon them are almost entirel
| clear from obstruction from trees.

Eagles, also made two fine throws to Gu

made strong bid for the game in tn
last half of the ninth. The score was
to Z when they began. Mccarthy wa
