W. ‘Fletcher was about to build the pres- ent post office, he had plans drawn for a building with a frontage of sixty-ï¬ve feet, this plan, however, was abandoned when it was found 'that a building of such width would necessitate the removal of a mag- niï¬cent hard maple tree located just east of the present post ofl'ice and Mrs. Fletcher, who had for over ,thirty years enjoyed this beautiful tree felt sure that it would remain there for all time to come. The tree kept on spreading its branches and has, by experts been many times considered as ï¬ne a specimen of a hard maple as can be found on the North Shore and Mr. Fletcher last year refused a most tempting offer for it, but in spite of all this with property valued at $150 per front foot and over and modern stores tak- ing the place of old homesteads lo- cated on Central avenue, this beautia ful maple was doomed to go last fall but rather than sell it and see it leave .Highland Park, Mrs. Fletcher, who‘ claims the ownership of this treefl has her husband's consent to donate it to the city to be planted in one of} , ‘our little parks and be known to the‘ gfuture generations as the “Fletcher .Maple " The lowest bid received for moving this enormous tree, weighing; mer six tons, was $13.00, and M12? ,Fletcher was about to close the ‘deal ‘when Mr. F. Clavey stepped in and‘ {offered to move the tree free of] :charge when he found out it was toi .be a donation tothe city. Yesterday Iafternoon Mrs. Fletcher, Rev.

Results were impossible because intufliciemt publicity prevented united ooâ€"operl- tion. Also the w¢ summer mule the task an unusually ginntic one. The Civic: Commiuion appointed by the mayor this year has enough tuith in the citizens and‘ property owners of Highland Park to believe tint they will make March 25th I thorough clean-upâ€"dly. Let us live the mytl law in the matter and let us lave faith that what has succeeded clue- where can succeed in Kighhnd Park. In Hunchusetts had seven! states local campeigns hsve been started. In New Haven a permanent incorporated citizens committee sup- ported by popular subscription last year drnined one-third of “51,200 odd acres and they state that they expect to see the mosquito crop re- duced within a few years by 98%. It will be interesting to our doubtful citizens to know that the disposition of the mosquito has not only been accomplished in the Panama region. Cuba, and other tropical places sut- Kering from malaria and yellow {ev- er, but also in a few places when the mosquito has been more of a nui- agice than a menace to public health. ‘ The mosquito problem is, in reality a state problem. Mosquitoes have wings and can fly surprising disunc- es. As yet New Jersey is the only state that has entirely assumed this responsibility. It has been fully dau- onstrated that the work of the organ- ized county commission has given de- sired results. Local health boards in Connecticut and New York state have certain powers to compel owners to drsin mosquito breeding areas. The public is also convinced thnt the mosquito ought to be suppmood. but may who have shown 11: interact in Clean-urban, u an initial ttep in the suggested mosquito umpdgn, hnvc expressed doubt in the possibil- ity of ever reducing their numbers. It is not necessary to inform our intelligent end well reed citizen of the hnvoc wrought by our common house fly. The experiments carried on at the Rockefeller Institute by Flexner and Clerk have convinced the public that the‘common house fly carries the virus of infeatile spin- el purelyeie.
