OLD SO. AkBOY TREE
IN WAY OF PROGRESS

SOUTH AMBOY, June 21-In or
der to make room for the new road
between the hole in the wall aud
the state bridge, Contractor George
Thomas, of the Mechanicsville sec
ton of the city. was forced to cut
down a tree over five feet in diam
eter which stood on Ridgeway ave-
nue. for the past fifty years.
The history of this particular tree
dates back to 1873, when Thomas
Van Pelt, long since dead, drove
cattle past the spot and on one oc-
casion placed in the ground, the
switch he used to urge the cattle
along. He watched. and cared for
the tree for years, as it shaped itself
into the giant willow it was and he
tool pride in telling it was he who
planted it. That section of Mechan-
iceville at that time was a huge
field and the Van Pelt home stood
several hundred feet away from the
tree
In later years the road was built
and the huge tree stood squarely in
the sidewalk. 1t was never moved
however, until yesterday The plea
of "woodman spare that tree, >
which in all probability saved it on
many an occasion, failed to move
