TREE FRINGE NEAR
MILK PLANT SAVED
Beauty of North Approach to Brattle-
bOrO Village Is Preserved Through
Cooperative Efforts.

The Reformer is glad to announce
that a fringe of trees has been saved
ON the westerly side OF the road north
of the old Bradley farm, near the milk
plant; j., Dorr Bradley sold this farm farm
to the Nindham County Milk Pro
duccTs. Inc, who in turn sold the timber
to Sturtevaut and Chckering, lumber
dealers. Realizing that IL every tree
was cut ON the bank north of the Brad
ley farm it would make this road very
bare and probably, hot and d'lsty IN
summer, Mr.. Bradley offered to buy
enough of these trees to preserve the
natural beauty of the approach to the
town from the north.
Through the cooperation of Arthur
ChickeTing, the Nindham County MIX
Producers, Inc, and Mr.. Bradley this
has been made possible. Mr.. Chickering
cut the trees on this bank scientifically
80 as to leave an avenue OF trees with
i'm 80 feet of the road, lSO so as not to
iuiure the smaller trees which were not
valuable for timber purposes. In few
years, these smaller trees WIli - AFFORD
considerable shade. The Milk Produc-
ers, Inc, has agreed to leave these trees
standing on its property unless Tor. iu-
turc development of the property 1t may
become necessary to cut them.
The cutting of some of the trees al
lows q vista out over the W est river
and the meadows which was impossible
before 50 from every viewpoint the ap-
proach to the town would seem to have
been improved The matter illustrates
how public spirit and cooperation can
result in civic improvement. 1t lS to be
hoprd that elsewhere in Vermont and
New England when it becomes necessary
to cut timber the trees Immediately adj
Joining the roadside may be preserved as
has been done in this case.
The details have been handled by Fred
II. Harris of this town, who represented
Mr.. Bradley sn the negotiations.
