Clearing Debris In Wake
OF Storm Still Unfinished

The work of clearing up the streets
several days before the entire devas-
tated area can be restored to as near
it's normal condition as it will ever
be. The wonder of the whole thing
grows as the enormous old trees are
being cleared up. that there should
ever be so mu,h force in the wind as
to tear them up by the roots or snap
them squarely off a few feet above
the ground. In very few of the fall
len trees has there been anything to
indicate anything but soundness and
many of them stood in what would
have been supposed sheltered spots.
On the streets where the most dam
age was done from falling trees. it
looks as if logging operations are
being carried on, as ii takes IA crew
of men with cross cut saws and
horses or trucks to handle the big
logs. A trunk of a big tree was be
ing hauled away behind heavy
truck Tuesday afternoon and seem
ed to be all the burden the truck was
capable of hauling, and gave but a
slight idea of the weight of the log
and the necessary force to break it,
One place on College avenue seems
to be menace to the safety of
pedestrians, especially as there have
been no street lights in that vicinity
for two nights. A big tree was up
rooted, taking with it the tar side
walk. The tree did not entirely fall
and the sidewalk is raised in a.
mound of five or six feet high.
