Attorney Slavatsky in speaking on
the matter urged that the permission
be granted as it was an obstruction.
Councilman Riordan stated that. Mr.
Slavatsky had. asked his permission
for the removal of the tree. but that
he did not care to take the respon-
sibility of removing the tree upon
himself and that he did not think
that the tree was an obstruction. and
that he would not vote in favor of
having it removed.
Err-Councilman Brown said that
he passed through this street a great
many times but that he did not
think that there was any tree on
the streets that should be taken.

He also stated that he had a large
tree in front of his home. and that
he had to drive across his front yard.
but that he would never ask for the
removal of the tree as long as it was
not dangerous.
Councilman James moved that the
matter be erred to the Tree War-

Nothing of great importance came
before the regular monthly meeting
last evening of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Norwalk Hospital asso-
ciation.
The report of the auditors, Ly-
brand. Ross Bros. and Montgomery.
was received. For a. nu er of
years Mr. Lybrand has ma c this
a generous contribution to the Nor-
walk hospital. This year the report
has come in mucI more pi/omptly
than in the past. due to the fact
that at t’arious times d ing the
year. at the request of the Executive
Committee. the hospital has had the
services of a representative of the
auditing .flrm. He supervised the
opening of a simple but complete
set of accounts, and followed this
up with examination several times.
As the'result the hosp Row has a.
system. from which. if carefully foi-
.‘v
lowed, it should be possi at all
times to prepare satisfact state-
ments. _
The treasurer reported to the
board that under the will of the late
Carrie A. Seymour, there will come
to thp hospital 26 shares of stock
of the City National Bank of South
