contempt OF court proceedings. or have
him arrs sted for violating city ordi-
nance. which prohibits the mutilating OF
shade trees.
As the Mayor, In his shirt sleeves. was
busy welding a heavy axe the owner
cried They told me that my tree would
not be taken down. and now they are
going to do that very thing. Oh. take
one OF my eyes. but leave that tree alone !!
I have owned these premises for more than
ten years and I would not have parted
with that maple for anything"
Mayor Lunn after the tree was cut down
said:
"Pettifogging politicians endeavoring to
hold NJ the citys important public work
should include the Mayor In their In
functions hereafter. | hope that We have
arrived at a time now when these miser-
able injunctions secured for political effect
