Rev. F. E.

' This morning by direction of our borough officials a large force of men went to work on East avenue, in front of the Van Zandt place, to cut down an embankment and several grand old elm trees, which have been the subject of more or 'less controversy in the court of burgesses and elsewhere. It was rumored that an injunction would be sworn out to prevent the prosecu- tion of the work but up to the hour of going to press it had not been done. It is not improbable, however, that legal steps will be taken including a suit against the borough for damages. It will be remembered that at the last meeting of the burgesses an invitation - from Attorney Hurlbutt was accepted to visit the Van Zandt and Bennett properties and see whether some plan could not be devis ed for putting East avenue in proper shape without sacri- ficing the trees referred to.
