Gas from leaking street mains is
killing many of our fine shade trees,
and property owners are complaining g
loudly, and with just cause. On Sec
ond street, FIVE and six trees in row
4 have died, and some of the old land
marks that have withstood the blasts
of fifty and sixty winters have gone
down before the deadly gas. When
the old mains were removed from
some of the streets and were replaced
by larger ones, the joints were not
made tight, hence the trouble, and it
is up to the gas company to remedy
the evil. We have always prided our
selves on our splendid street shade
and it is a shame to have it destroyed
/ by careless work
