CUTT/N, DOWN TUE BIG emirs. -On
Tuesday last considerable indignation
was created by the fact that the street
inspector. with a gang of men, began an
onslaught on some of the large trees in
the Seuare. At first the act was looked
upon as a piece of vandalism; but when
it was explained that the large tree was
being cut down tin that the smaller tdlett
mialit not' bp robbed -of sustenance, pep-
ular fury in some degree moderated. Be
the excuse a good or it had one, the pub-
lic works committee could easily have
refrained from felling fhe big tree until
the autumn titne had ccrne, and then it
would not have been so much missed.
The public wcrks committee was far be-
