The elm tree at the corner of the resi-
dence of Miss Emma NJ. Davis on High
and Park streets, was cut down last
Wednesday. The night before a large
limb from the tree broke off, crashing in :
to the electric light wires and breaking
them, and putting the street lights in
that section as well as the lights in the
houses, out of commission. The Central
Maine Power Co. had a crew of men on
the work in good season, and it was
found that the tree was in such bad
condition that it was thought best to cut
it down When the electric light wires
fell they burned the grass on the lawns
of the two or three nearby houses. The
men were working on the wires practi-
cally all day Thursday, and on removing
the tree, which was large one. 1t will
be greatly missed at that corner.
