PROGRESS Hertford does not want the trees cut down on Church Street in order it' widen the street. There is very vgnement oujecuun on me pari uj. ;jnahy,";;But the trees will probably .'have to go. j ;' ,. , ,,'S1 "street is narrow, twenty feet wide. Too narrow, by far, in tne opinion of the State Highway Com mission. Naturally, the State High way commission is concerned primar ily in giving to the public better highway; facilities. That is as it should be. Residents of the town, however, concerned more particularly with the town, dislike to sacrifice the beauty and the comfort of the trees. If the width of the street could be increased, say, 6 feet, that would please the Hertford public, for the trees might then be saved. It is pointed out that this is a residential section and that there is no proba bility that it will ever be otherwise; that for a residential district, where it is unnecessary to park cars in the street, there is no necessity for an extremely wide street. If the street might, then, be made 6 feet wider and the trees left standing, that would please Hertford residents. It looks simple, but it isn't. It is said that the federal government will not approve the improvement of a highway within the town limits at a less width than 30 feet. And here lies the trouble. Widening this section of Church Street is a part of the plan to make a wider thoroughfare through the town, which plan includes the paving of Dobb Street. And so these trees which so many of us feel we cannot bear to see cut down, being directly in the path of the march of progress, will in all probabil'ty have to go. HIT OR MISS I In checking up on whether or not the people of Hertford are in favor of losing the trees on Church Street in order to widen the street, I ran -across a number of persons who stat ed that they believed the Town of Hertford should pass an ordinance prohibiting the parking of cars on that section of Church Street between the postoffice and the bridge. One man with whom I discussed the mat ter, and who lives in the country, said that in going home from Hert ford he had frequently to turn out to the left to pass a car parked on the east side of the northern end of Church Street, near the curve, an that he had often feared that anotlw er car might sweep around that curve and strike his car. On prominent citizen who . lives. jobt Church Street says that he had rather not have Dobb Street pavet' than give up the trees on Church Street. One prominent resident of the street said that he was not in faVor of raising objections to anything which was an improvement. "No," returned .another man who lives on Church Street, "but I do not consider cutting down those trees is an im provement.'' "Pat, why did you run under the .The speaker, was Bill Elliott.
