ON ELMW00D PARK TREES

Recent criticism OF Park Commissioner
]. b. Hummel for allowing trees in Elm

as unfair by Commissioner Hummel, who
says:
II believe this criticism is utterly un-

ground equipment has been installed for
the children and a new base ball diamond
was laid out for the boys
The trees cut down were dead or
