In this mornings issue of the local paper appears a long list of prominent men who express themselves as being op posed to the cutting of any more of the trees in the city. This protest and expres- sion was probably brought about by tho action of the city council a few weeks ago when the trees in the middle of East Sixth street were ordered cut out. A majority of the property owners along the street in question petitioned the council to have this done, and the city fathers have these behind them in the project. The excuse given for wanting these trees removed is that this much of Sixth street is rapidly becoming business property, and the demands of growing city make it advisable that the street be free from Instructions. However, there are many people here who are devoted to the trees which have made Tuscaloosa famous, and every attack on one or the remnants of one is met with bitter opposition.
