The meeting was called last night to consider the fate of eight old trees lining 200 West between 400 and 500 North which are on a collision course with the city's curb and gutter project. City engineers say the trees, which are on city property, have to be ' I removed to make room for the new but residents along the block say they would rather have the trees than the gutter. Mr. Myrten Grant, whose property borders the trees is opposed to the city's proposed action. "I'd be very disap-guttpointed if the trees have to come down," he said. "It takes about 20 years to grow a tree." It's hoped the meeting will allow both sides to explore possibly overlooked , I cr k iff tf solutions to the problem. Pope said, "We've looked at the situation for years and we're still looking at it." But he hinted he sees no other solution but to remove the trees.

JESSIE HARTSHORN, Page 8) j X7 K' Semi-Annu- the City Supervisor, Karl Webb, explained that runoff from northern blocks now runs south to the block with the trees and just sits there with no place to go. Guttering would channel the runoff further south to a dry creek, he said. Mrs. Grant questions that a drainage problem even exists, saying even if it does, it certainly isn't any worse now than it's been for the past 100 years. Most residents in the area seem confused about the actions surrounding the guttering project. Webb explained what happens before projects like the guttering are begun. "First, a special improvement district is approved by the City Council. The intended action is advertised in the paper for four weeks and each involved resident receives written notice of the project. Then a public meeting is held when citizens can voice their feelings. Residents may also protest any action in writing to the council. If the majority of residents in the district approve of the actions, then the project begins." In the case of trees and sidewalks which need to be removed, Webb said the cost of removing them is taken from city funds. When asked why perfectly good sidewalks had to be torn up for the guttering project, Webb explained there were two reasons which would necessitate that. "We have to tear up sidewalks which are either in poor condition, or are graded incorrectly for proper drainage." The superintendent ,waived aside accusations that he is tree hit man saying such claims are ridiculous. "I know that curbs, power lines and trees don't go well together," he said. Pope said he had recommended that the city building inspector try to inform persons who might be involved in situations like the current problem earlier to avoid any misunderstanding ; " and hard feelings.
