The rest Of Mrs. L. NJ. Tobin in her
home at % Academy street was
abruptly interrupted Saturday after
noon when large poplar tree, which
heretofore had brsved the winds on a
hill at the rear Of the home fell after
/ chopper had failed in telling the tree
IN the opposite direction. Instead Of
he roof giving way, branches several
inches in diameter snapped into small
pieces and aside from few shingles
being removed from the roof no dam
sge was done, not even a window be-
ng broken This was the third and
asst tree TO be cut down near the home
Turing the past week, the other two
alling as the chopper planned. Their
emoyal from this location was made
It the suggestion of Street Supt J. C.
)eBrme, who found that the roots of
he trees in seeking water, had crept
nto crevices in the sewer pipe and
hen grown TO such diameter that the
,ipe was entirely filed with roots and
yater passage blocked almost com
,letely. Several other such cases ex
ST in the city, and in speaking further
# the matter Mr.. DeBrune declared
hese trees a detriment TO the city.
