WILL NOT GUT
DOWN ANY TREES
=. 8E NECESSARY TO
REMOVE THEM IN BUILD
ING CAR LINE.
Members of Public Works COMMITTEES
and Car Line Officials Went Over
. the Route Yesterday-Work on re
Line is Being Pushed.

The public works comm ittee OF
council, together with Mayor Hopkins
and officials of the City and Suburban
Railway company yesterday made a
trip of inspection over the entire
proposed route of the trolley line
with a view of seeing just what would
have to be done in the way of re-
moving trees and other distractions
(which will likely Interfere with the
construction of the car line. At a re-
cent meeting of council the street car
company sent in a request that the
water fountain in front of the Ma
tional bank, as we'll as various trees,
etc, be removed The company has
teen given permission to remove the
fountain.
After the trip was made over the
proposed route yesterday it was dis
covered that it would not be neces-
sary to remove a single one of Bruins
Wick's pretty trees. 1t was feared at
first that some of the pretty old oaks
would have to give way to the i'm
provements.
In one or two instances it will be
necessary to trim some of the trees,
limbs will have to be removed, etc,
but it is not thought that it will be
necessary to cut any of Slem down.
In some places the trees are slightly
in the way, hut this will probably be
overcome by the trolley line taking
d slight curve and COINS around the
trees,
About tn, Grades.
Nothing was done yesterday con.
cerning the grades OF the streets
which, for a time, seemed to be quite
a serious matter This is also in
charge of the public works commit.

stated that City Engineer High was
now engaged in the work of making
up report as to the streets where
the grade is not UP to the standard,
the necessary cost of making improve
ment, etc. The report will probably
be in the hands OF the committee to-
morrow ard a meeting will then be
held and an effort Will be made to
solve the problem The engineer of
the street car company is assisting
the city engineer in making up the
report.
Work Progressing Rapidly.
The work Of building the car line
continued yesterday and before the
end of the day the grading had been
completed almost to Union street,
while ties have been laid and track
laid from Cochran ayenu to Norwich
street Another large force was busy
during the day erecting the trolley
poles on Newcastle street. Only a
small number of poles will be necss-
sary on this street, as many of the
company's electric light poles will be
used as trolley poles.
1t is expected that By Saturday night
the line from Cochran avenue to New,
castle street, on Gloucester, will be
completed. The company has just
enough rail Oh hand to complete this
BY that time, howeve4 it
is expected that schooner viii ar
rive with full cargo of rail.
The work of grading was pushed
more rapidly yesterday by the use of
the large city steam roller, which has
been rented by the company. IL
stead of using six horses to pull the
large plow, used to break the ground
the plow was hitched to the rollnr
