Show Tree Removal Program Gets Under Way As a most important step in the beautification of Cedar City, and with the cooperation of the city administration in furnishing financial help, the city tree commission com-mission will soon begin a major tree removel program as a project pro-ject for the year. In the early history of Cedar City residents planted many trees, many of them as much needed wind breaks, and as a result they were planted close together to-gether and as the trees have developed de-veloped over the years, they have become too crowded for natural growth and beauty. Many of them also become unsightly and in some instances dangerous. The tree removal project is designed to eliminate any dangerous situations, sit-uations, to allow room for more beautiful growth of remaining trees and also to eliminate some trees of objectionable type. The commission has decided to remove trees on one street at a time and has selected 100 West Street as the one for the 1954 pro-ject, pro-ject, partly because there are a large number of trees on this street and partly because the residents res-idents of the street have asked for cooperation in correcting the condition on the street. Property owners have been contacted and trees will be removed only where owners have signified a willingness to cooperate. It is indicated that 69 trees have been marked for removal and work will start as soon as a contract for the work can be negotiated. |
