PASADENA, June 5.--An important
question to be dealt with by the city
council at it's session tomorrow is the
framing of an ordinance to protect
shade trees from the ravages of en-
ployes of telephone companies. In
many places in the city valuable trees
protrude over the sidewalks where 1t
is necessary to hang wires, and where
the branches are in the way the line
men have been in the habit of saving
off the limbs against the protest of
property owners. T1is has been re-
sented to such an extent that the city
officials have been obliged to take up
the matter. Acting City Attorney Nc
Donald and the mayor have held a
conference on the subject with the re-
suit that an ordinance will be prepared
regulating the manner in which shade
trees shall be set out and maintained,
as we'll as regulating the method of
stringing telephone, telegraph or other
wires on the streets.
