this that IL is proposed 10 cut II down.
In the changing OF the grade OF Summer
street which is now well under way II
has been necessary to cut down two large

would prefer TO see trees line the streets
on every side But the fact OF the mat
ter is that the people who set out most
OF the trees never considered the changes
which would come with years. New con-
