Can there really be men with souls so dead to beauty and to the gift of time and our distinctive climate who would give an order to cut down a row Rrrmttgniflcent hard maple of which few other countries can boast?

The estimated cost of the proposed new civic building, $282,000, includes the demoli. tion of the existing town hall and the old, former tire hall on Little Ave., and the tur. nishing of the new building.
