of falling and iniuring any ones per son or property; but the sole claim was that they were situated so near the cen ter or the highway as to make the highway unsafe for travel by reason of causing the same to be narrow, and that in removing said trees the highway would be widened. The highway in | question is a portion of the trunk line highway system, as shown by a map pre- pared by the state highway commission CT and on file in the office of the secre- tary Of state. therefore, the sole power to lay out, alter, widen or grade said highway, or marking or defining the boundaries of the lines of said highways | is in the state highway commissioner | The matter of these trees was taken upl with C. F. Hamlin of the highway com missioner's office and map drawn by | the town engineer shown to him. March l S1st, MT. Hamlin returned the map with | a letter stating that the highway com 1 | missioner did not care to enter into the l discussion concerning the removal of | these trees. We therefore feel that the | selectmep have no authority to act in accordance with the notice of the five l citizen tax paYers.
