LIABILITY FOR STREET TREES
(Meriden Journal)


 We are asked about street trees. We can't account for the sudden interest in the subject shown by several property holder except possibility that they recall a tree ordinance that was adopted by the city council some months ago. The inouirers want to know if they own the trees in front of their proper ties and if they are responsible for them.
 Theoretically they do own them, just as they own the sidewalks. but actually the city is the boss, and it would appear that the city Is liable fo damage they may cause.
 However, citizens are privileged to interpret for themselves sections of the new bylaw which read:
 Whenever any tree along any -highway or sidewalk shall be- come diseased or decayed or In any way unsafe ]. it shall become the duty of the (property) owner to cause said tree to be made safe by trimming or removing saina within 4s hours after notice to do 70 shaii have been given by the board of public works.

Probably the last public action in which the late George Wakeman Wheeler, former chief justice of the state supreme court of errors, engaged was the dispute over the removal of the Soldiers Home at Noroton to Rocky Hill, Hartford. He strenuously opposed the selection of the site formerly occupied by the Hartford Retreat and en- gagged in quite verbal battle with Attorney Benedict M. Holden, chairman of the com mission for the establishment of soldiers home through the columns of the state press The late chief justice favored site near New Haven. It was the opinion of the Democrat from the very beginning that the present site should be utilized for 10th practical and sentimental reasons. However, it was no doubt the central location of the Hartford property that moved the commls- sion to proceed with its plans of building there despite criticism levelled at it. We felt all along that inasmuch as the Soldiers Home had originally been intended for Fairfield county by the Fitch family and it was their money that gave it start some consideration should be given to the histor- ical background. We think that Chief Jus tice Wheeler inclined towards this viewpoint, too.

 Should Attorney Robert F. Butler of this city be chosen as the tenn porary chairman of the democratic state convention, the party will have no mean keynoter.
 MT Butler is an orator of parts. He Is student of public affairs and is familiar with politics. In the Baldwin days of twenty years ago he electrified the state with an ad- dress he made at Foot Guard hall in reply to the critics of Governor Simeon F. Baldwin, notably George B.

It may be a little early to dC much shouting about American prospects in the middle distances at the Los Angeles Olympics but what other country can offer such star performers as Gene venzke Pen Hallowell, Henry Brocksmith and Frank Norden for 1900 meters
 Here are four men who have run the mile indoors this winter under four minutes 13 seconds, the most amazing performance over one sea- son in athletic history.
 Venzke, the smooth-running high school youngster from Pottstown Pa, ran the American equivalent of the Olympic distance twice in week in 4:112 and 4:10 flat to beat the 4:12 record of Paavo Nur- mi and Joie Ray that had stood for seven years.
 Then came Hallowell's 4:124 in the intercollegiate and NordelPs 4:13 second to him. Brocksmith ran his fine race in the Big Ten cham pionships at Chicago and not only won the mile in record time but stepped out only a short time lat CT and ran the two mile in 9:18.4, his marks were made on @ dirt track, the others were made on the boards.

 It was a big night for Joe Van Alta, Badger heavyweight cham pion. In the second game he wound up with seven straight strikes to score 234 high mark for the tournament. His total was 610.

Erik Has Answer

Herman Erik, American record holder in the shot put has an an- swer for this burst of record break ing:
 You just raise the standard in your own mind, go after it and find you can do it. he said.
 When the mile record was AIS that was the mark everyone was running for, Erik said. When it went down to 4:12 everyone was trying for that and, as a conse- quence, many were running under the old mark. Now, with the rec ord at 4:10, the boys are shading 4:12 every time they go on the track.
 Erik said that theory has always worked out in his own case. His first goal, when he started putting

 All of which is interesting but still doesn't explain away the fact that Nurmi and Rays 4:12 mile in- doors stood for seven years before Venzke came along to break it twice in a week.

Clympics Another Thing

 Winning a mile in record time and winning the 1,500 meters in the Olympics are two entirely different propositions, however. In one cass you train according to your own methods for couple of weeks, then run one race. In the Olympics you run three times in three days and against the pick of the world. And if you can win that third 1,50O- meter jaunt you're man.
 The iron man stunts of Brock smith and Nordell-Frank did a 1:54 half the same night he ran his 4.13 mile and Venzkes two record breaking efforts over the space of a week indicate these boys not only have the speed but they have the heart and the stamina it takes to make an Olympic cham pion
