Ask Right to Build Dams In Somerset

Only two matters were discussed al

Inland Waters. The first was the
matter of increasing and amending
the charter of the Scion Lumber
company in such manner as to al
low them the right to construct dams
and piers in Fall brook In the towns
of Bingham and Brighton and the
right to collect toll privileges. Mr.
Starbird, manager of the Scion Lum-
Der company, explained what was
needed and desired. 1t was stated
that already $4,000 had been expend-
ed in improving the stream and that
the company intended to expend from
$4,000 to $4,000, more for that pur-
pose. Mr.. Mcneil appeared for the
s. d. Warren company, which owns
large lumber tracts in that section
and spoke in favor Of the act.

raised. They would later II the re-

Misuse of the Pruning Hook

Too commonly the ordinary work
man will get into the top of a tree
and use his long pruning hook to
break of the small dead branches, in
in the same manner that he would use
a club for like purpose. When 80
used, the pruning hook will inevitably
cause many injuries to the young
bark of adjoining branches and make
wounds thru which disease and decay
germs can enter. In this manner
many new openings for the possible
entrance of disease may be created
in addition to the one already exist
ing in the dead branch, for 1t must
be remembered that merely breaking
of the branch does not prevent decay
from continuing at this point, while
every new bruise or wound may fur
nish a new point for decay to enter
