an Important Ceesior Regarding Trees
Along the Highways.

An important decision or the tree tag
law, so CO led. las boon handed down by
the supreme court of New Hampshire.
The decision was in the case Of the town
Of Hinsdale against the Whitcombs of
West Swauzey. and known MS the BiSclow
and others against Whitcomb. The tree
wardens of Hinsdale brought suit to re-
cover from the abutfers for cutting trees
along the highway. The trees in Cues-
ton had been tagged according t. the law
of 1901 hat no compensation had been Of
fcrcd the owners IF the land, and D. lie
PENDANTS cut the trees. The court says
that Uhet the highway was laid out the
land owner was deprived of such rights
only as were reasonably necessary for the
construction and maintenance of way
for puhli, travel Ari,or"h shade and OF
uamcntation are not go. s'dertd Gees
sary rrr the construct auj mai u1nc-
Of a highway. and the land owner is held
not to have transferred To the town the
right to keep the trees standing .ur such
purposes Trees and heritage i'm the high
way which do not interfere with or OBJ
struCt the public use Of the road and Which
are the natural profits Of the unused land,
We're not taken because they We're not
needed for highway purposes Hence they
cannot now be used by the public without
compensation to the owner. The public
may acquire rights in the trees by stat
utory methods which include compensa-
ton but in this case did not do so. This
decision is restricted to ancient rural high
ways the rights in populous communities
are not discussed The law Of 1901 is
held to be Intellectual unless compensa-
ton is given. BY paying for the trees the
public may acquire full rights. even If the
owner objects.
