this is most regret- able, it is unfortunately made ecessary for à number of rea- ons.In some cases it has been founa after excavation that pre- ylous excavations have reduced re root structure, and, with the ew construction being carried out, urther depletion of the root structure is unavoidable.In the case ot ome trees the roots when exposed re found to be very close to the surface.After

said; \u201cIt is my opinion after going over city files and consulting finance department authorities, that if any Montreal citizen refuses to pay the water tax, then the service can be discontinued.\u201d This rather veiled threat that the water supply to Westmount would be cut off is not likely to gain many friends for the Montreal executive, as comment might have been withheld until the Courts have decided whether the action by the City of Montreal is valid.Westmount has based its arguments on the fact that Montreal is bound by the franchise contract and by its own City Charter to limit the water rate in West- mount to the 74% Meanwhile Westmount water taxpayers have been advised by the City Council to compute their tax on the basis of the old rate of 714% and to pay accordingly pending the decision of the Court.It is refreshing to find that Westmount does not intend to be intimidated by big stick methods.This may be the first of many such fights before some system of Metropolitan centralization is effected.J.C.Cushing, 610 Clarke Avenue, whose appointment as assistant to the president of A.C.Leslie and Co.Ltd, is announced by F.Garvin Smith, president,

made baseball his life career was introduced by \u201cShag\u201d Shaughnessy, president of the International Baseball League, as the manager of the best and most colorful team to watchin the

to get into the \u201cbase ball racket\u201d and if they had anything on the ball they were given a chance.Players were picked by hundreds of scouts who relied on the tip-offs of lesser \u201cbird
