 Dear Sir; I have followed your articles in the Herald in regard to the question of laying the water main in kensington, of which progress is i'm peded by massive tree near the Paper Goods factory Could sug- gest that the engineers tunnel hole at depth of about five feet under tNe tree. The roots at such depth should not be much entangled and what would be encountered could easily be cut away without injury to the tree. It would be too bad to cut the tree down and it would be bad for the fire district to tamper with the pressure. My scheme leaves the tree standing and does not interfere with the progress of the main in straight line.
 Very truly yours,
 WHOAMI.
