Landmark Removed
Berlin lost another old landmark
this morning when eXcavating
activities about the old elm tree at
the corner of Pennington avenue
and Worthington ridge terminated
in the razing of the majestic old tree
at about II o'clock this morning. It
years old and was familiar friend
to all local residents. 1t fell to the
northwest, making a heavy crash
as it toppled TO the ground.
For many years the tree shaded
berlinites who dropped into the old
post office and remained to talk with
their friends. 1t saw the advent OF
the new-fangled contraption" which
was labelled the automobile. Per-
haps it laughed when it heard some
hardy soul maintain that the noisy
smelly dingus had come to stay. But
the "new-fangled contraption' has
proved the old trees undoing where
rain and snow and all the elements
! have failed. State highway authori-
ties recently decreed that the tree
presented a dangerous hazard to
motc- traffic and the roadbed was
ordered widened and the tree level
led.
Excavations We're started yester.
day about the base of the splendid
elm and this noon the axes and saws
of the road gang felled all the
splendor that a hundred years of life
had given-all in order that the
roadster and the sedan, the flivve1
and the straight eight might pro-
coed with no mishaps.
