TREE IN COURT HOUSETOW
Temple Of Justice Shaded From

Greensburg, Ind, has curiosity
that is said to have no duplicate in
the world. 1t is tree growing out of
the top of the court house tower
There were formerly four trees, but
when the court house Quilt from 1853
to 1861 was remodeled in 1887 the
largest tree, then about fifteen feet
high, was removed, as it's size was
thought to render the tower unsafe
Two others on the south side persisted
from the heat. The tree left is at
the northwest corner of the tower
where the reflection of the heat of the
tower is not so intense as at the point
where the two others died.
AS there is grove of soft naples
growing i'm the court house yard the
grove on the tower is supposed to
have been started by the wind blowing
the winged maple seeds between the
crevices of the rocks where, catching
root in the sediments of dust and wa
tered by the rain, they sprouted.
The trees were first noticed sprout-
ing more than thirty years ago, and
since then have been seen by and
have excited the curiosity of even
"globe trotters," many of whom have
carried the news of it to foreign
lands.
This tree is about fifteen feet in
height and three inches in diameter.

The levy recommended is the same
as last year as far as the current,

provement deficiency funds are con-
cerned. A reduction of $500 is made
in the park fund. $1,000 in the interest
fund. and no levy is needed for the
Broad street paving Judgment, the
Fifth and Main street improvements
or Central park, which last year called
for $4,000 There is added $1,000
for sprinkling certificates. This levy
would bring the city tax levy back
to where it was three years ago, and
would give plenty of money for an
economical administration of city af-
fairs. If any paving is to be done
next year, or bridge construction work,
provision can be made for it.
