happened to think that the tree had
no business in the middle Of the
street and he reported the same 10
the city dads The legal authority
OF the city sustained the theory that
the tree might tax the Golfers Of the
people many times its value in court
judgments resulting from such acct
dents as Mr. Ycagers
So the city dads accepted some
hody's proposal to cut it down. and
the matter was dispelled for the mo-

commissioners They dipped into
serious problems OF municipal bust

chances with that Might cost MS a
lot some time you see Yes, II is a
shame to cut it down, but it had to
be done. Sorry, but you know the
citys finances are not in the best Of

A clerk from an outer office came
in. Mr. quinn was wanted outside
Mr.. Quinn excused himself After a
moment he returned, testify COM

replied:

The dads exchanged knowing
glances Mayor Wooden winked to

caught the hint He slipped out "A

As the phone clicked the mayor
