tree somewhere In the row. Is 1t possible
that Aid. Copas contemplated moving down
the whole row, several blocks long, to make
sure of getting out this one dead tree? II
there really Is dead tree In the street and
1t is necessary that It be cut out at once 1t

wait until the whole council authorizes the
deed before another tree cutting party Is
