win the Cinders Kill Trees2

That is the burden of complaint of
one East Madison avenue man and he
says he represents a respectable con-
tingent of his neighbors. Some
months ago he prepared to lay brick
sidewalk in front of his home and the
question of putting smelter cinders be-
meath the brick came up. He finally in
terviewed "Uncle Billy" Lanyon, who
in life time of experience undoubted-
ly knows as much about the destroy
ing qualities of cinders as any one.
Mr.. Lanyon said the cinders would
kill the trees, perhaps not in one or
three years, but sooner or later, sure
ly. Now the electric road is dumping
solid foot of cinders down the middle
of the prettiest shaded street in town.
With rains soaking through and car
rying the destructive chemicals from
| this trench to the side and down to the
trees roots, the question this man asks
is: Are not the towns shade trees be-
ing endangered? If they are he thinks
it should be stopped, for the trees have
required twenty-five years to grow.
