Y., for approaches to the new Thousand Islacfe International Inter-national bridge near Watertown, were almost forced to remove this giant cotlonwood tree, for which Clinton Hodge, seventy, Si D. Fall, ninety-one, and Lorenzo Vandcrwalkcr, seventy-four, left to right, have a sentimental senti-mental attachment.
