RAZEs $4,000 HOME
TO SAVE RARE HEDGE
Californian Will Sell Residence for
Lumber, Rather Than Sacri-
flee 6eauty.

ALTADENA, n. Y. Nov. IL
Rather than sacrifice a cedar hedge,
Edward " Taylor, the richest resi-
dent OF this place, viii sacrifice an
$4,000 house.
Mr.. Taylor has lived for years In a
large nome, but has decided to erect
one much finer.
He had planned TO move his resi-
dence when IL occurred TO him that
his house was surrounded on all sides
by a hedge On the west further
more Us Santa Rosa-ave., with It's
magnificent Cedars. one OF which
would have to be cut down TO let the
house through.
On the front OF his lot, however.
there was merely a cedar hedge and
some shrubbery The destruction OF
this hedge would have given ample
room TO let the house through.
After considering the question Mr..
Taylor decided not TO spoil the hedge.
He had spent many years In bringing
the place to its present attractive
appearance. and he priced IL particu-
larly. The house represented merely
money. the hedge represented time
and could not be replaced,
Accordingly. the attractive resi-
dence, which cost about $4,000, will
be torn down and sold for lumber
when his palatial new house is con-
pleted
