CITY WO0DnEN WON'T
SPARE OLD TREES
Veterans Must Gite Way TO Saplings
and More Than Three Hundred
VIII Come Down.

when the woodman. famous in
literature, starts to spare that tree,
he will, under the action OF the Adj
ministrative Board. fare badly with
the city engineer and his stan.
FOR the edict has gone forth that
S33 trees must be cut down, removed,
or otherwise destroyed.
In their places will be planted trees
which may provide shade in genera
tions to come--for the people of the
two decades following the next two.
But here goes some of the old land
marks, some of the old trees In which
many OF the old men of today have
skinned the cat" ard have sought
safety and solace from the enemy in
the old time rock battles.
Many of the lovers of trees remern-
Der when Monroe Park was full OF
saplings, and when there was not q
shady spot between Main and Pine
and Franklin and Laurei-when but
a few Of the old monarchs of the
forest stood where they stand today.
Such old men as Thomas McAdams.
Julian Hill. Hiram Smith, Clyde
Saunders, Charlie Wallace, Graham
Hobson. Charlie Saville, and hundreds
Of others remember the old trees. and
the moonshine penetrated In old Mon
roe Park and CANDLES Hill Park.
and there was no real shade save that
furnished by the big old monarchs.
Now. they say, we are to start over
again, and there will be none of the
old ones. We all remember now:
Under the spreading Blacksmith
tree.
The Village Chestnut stood"
And there were many Of those old
ones. Ned Rose. Frank Baldwin, JEFF

EIliot-ali Of them stood under the
old trees and SHE'D their rocks over
to the enemy on the other side of the
street. Take Billy Duke and Craig

the Tanners and all the old fellows
who have grown up with the trees Of
Richmond. And there was Allen Potts
and DIR. Hutson- DR.. Hutson has seen
more trees grow In and around Rich
