TREE CUTTING
AT MT. LAKE TO
HALT 50 DAYS
In the Meantime Mayor and
Council Will Try to Make Ar
engagements to Stop Fur
Their Cutting

Following meeting of the Mayor
and City Council of Mountain Lake
Park, and other interested parties, on
Tuesday evening, the cutting of the
oak trees in the Park has been halt
ed, for thirty days at least.
Meeting with the council were Neil
c. Fraley, attorney; H. c. Bucking-
ham, district forester, and H. D. Lol-
lar, manager of the Oakland Timber
Corporation, and several interested
citizens of the Park.
Lollar, who was termed Every
agreeable and cooperative" by Mayor
c. Oscar Hall, said that the cutting
would stop for thirty days pending
an effort Of the Town Council to
reach an agreement with Miss Oslo
England, head of "The Defenders of
the Faith" who had made the con-
tract with Lollar for the purchase of
the trees.
Mayor Hall said it was the purpose
to the council to persuade Miss Eng
land to agree not to sell any more
trees for commercial purposes. If
such an agreement could be reached,
Mr.. Hall said LOllar agreed to scrap
his contract with Miss England.
The cutting of trees has provoked
a storm of protest from residents of
Mt Lake Park. There are many beau
tiful oak trees on the 800-acre tract
that was owned for many years by
the Methodist Board of Foreign Mis-
sions. The Defenders of the Faith
purchased a large part of the Park
from the Foreign Mission Board two
years ago, and since that time the
Defenders have sold a portion Of the
property to the Mountain Lake Park
Camp Meeting Association.
1t was in an effort to raise money
to pay for the property that the trees
were being sold, according to reliable
sources, and some say 500 trees, some
1000 trees, are to be cut down Some
insist that only the defective trees
are to be cut, but others point out
that all trees above six inches are to
be included
Those protesting the cutting of the
trees say that without the trees
Mountain Lake Park isn't worth
much as a beauty spot and summer
place.
Mayor Hall said it had been def
nitely established that some of the
trees already cut down were on the
rights of way of the streets of the
town. He said that a total of about
200 trees had already come down,
mostly in what is known as the
"Woods section"
The matter was placed in the
hands of their attorney, Mr.. Fraley,
who will make an effort to reach an
agreement with Miss England, who
at the present time is at Intercession
City, Fla.
