WATERVILLE
VILE MAY LOSE
 COMMUNITY TREE
No Change in Park Dept Plans Made as Yet
 Bowling Results

which frightened the Waterville Green during the holiday season for several years previous to last year promises to be again conspic- uous by it's absence unless there is a change in the present plan of the Park department. Superintendent Harrison is quite willing to supply a tree, set it up and arrange for the necessary electrical connections if local individuals or group will furnish the bulbs for the tree.
 For a number of years the bulbs on the tree were consistently stolen by someone during the holidays. The Park department finally de- cided that it could not stand the annual expense which these thefts involved and last year failed to provide a tree. The same proceed ure is contemplated this year un- less the above conditions are com- piled with.
 In no other section has it been necessary to contend with this sit- uation and 1t is to be sincerely re- gretted that a few people should, by their actions, make it neces- sary to deprive the community Of what had come to be an attraction highly appreciated Christmas tide symbol.
 Efforts are to be made to per suade the park officials to give Waterville on more chance. If they are unable to see their way clea rto do so, the blame should be placed, not upon them, but upon the yandals whose depredations have brought about the present sit- uation.
