CITY ENGINEER
SAYS VERY. FEW
TREES TO Be CUT
People Have Jumped to
Conclusions Without
Learning Facts :.

"Only four trees in the south end
Of the city will be removed because
of interference with the curb line,'
said +. c. Dyer, city engineer, when
asked this morning the status in the
supposed tree destruction in that
part of the city on account of the
curbing now being installed by the
city. "These trees are on Brighton
avenue" continued Mr.. Dyer, " "and
no great amount Of damage will be
done by their removal
AS proof that there is absolutely
no intention Of the city administra-
tion to remove trees, Mr.. Dyer
pointed 20 the fact that last August,
the curbing line on Holt avenue was
changed to avoid cutting down 245
trees which We're on the former curb
line and would have to be removed
if they were adhered to. ..s'N
The tree controversy has been "a
tempest in a teapot" according to
Mr.. Dyer, and was the result Of
people jumping at conclusions. He
made plain the position of the
present city council in desiring to
plant more trees and encourage pri.
vate property owners to plant them,
rather than cause their removal if
at all possible to avoid the latter.

KEEP Ell CENTRIC
FOLKS INDOORS
Snow Falls in Mountains
But Traffic Maintains
z Schedule

I 2 Indoor sports held prominent
position in the lives of Imperial Val
ley folks yesterday, q heavy rain,
accompanied by cold weather, serv-
ing to make it disagreeable TO be
on the outside. The rainfall was
Particularly heavy for this country,
amounting to "a inch, according to
figures Of the Imperial Irrigation
District. The average yearly rain
fall extending over the last II years
bis only IS inch, showing that yes
terday's performance was 'some
shower
I Rain began falling early ln the
morning and continued steadily un-
til after 10 o clock, at which time
there was a slight let-up, only to
be followed by intermittent showers
until the middle Of the afternoon.
Roads were turned into quagmires
and only those who were forced to
do so, brought out the family flivver
and enjoyed the excitement of driv-
ing a ear through the sticky 'dobs
mud.
Snow in Mountains
Rain was general throughout all
Southern California, being especially
heavy on the coast. Reports from
San Diego state there was heavy
downpour in that city. The rain
turned to snow in the mountains,
extending from the vicinity Of Cam
po to the Mountain Springs store.
According to one ;,utOisI VINO drove
over yesterday afternoon from the
coast, the snow. in the mount ms
was particularly heavy, and from
the top Of the grade to Mountain
Springs, assumed the proportions OF
blizzard, accompanied by a heavy
wind, which made driving a dan
gerous pastime, to be conducted only
with the greatest caution. The
mountains today are covered with
snow, though it is reported as dis
appearing fast.
Travel Uninterrupted
Neither rain or snow had any
particular effect on stage or rail
load travel, inquiry at the stage
office and Southern Pacific station
developing the information that
schedules were being maintained.
At the Automobile Club it was
suggested that persons intending to
drive to San Diego within the next
few days, take the Campo road, it
being believed to be in better condi.
tion than the route via Descanso,
the latter being extremely muddy.
The road to Los Angeles is reported
in good shape, the rain having little
effect Or the unpaved portions.
