Whether or not to remove three sycamore trees an the west side of Front street near the intersection of Fairview .street has been before the x hoard off and on for more than a year. Mayor Miles told the commissioners that he had contacted Gordon Poindexter, chairman of the Town Planning -*/ Board in regard to removing the trees. He quoted Poindexter as saying that he had contacted some members of the board and it was alright to cut down the tree at the south corner of Fairview Street hut that he would prefer a meeting of the board before making any decision about the two trees in front of Blaylock's Funeral Home lot. During the discussion, the matter of a stoplight at the corner of Fairview and Front streets, was brought up. It was pointed out that in summer. particularly during wet weather, that drooping limbs from this tree somewhat obscured the light, making it hard to see from a distance An additional purpose of the stoplight would be to slowdown traffic on Front Street. The result of the discussion was the passage of a motion declaring the tree on the south side of Fairview to be a traffic hazard and to have it removed, and to remove the other two trees as well if Planning Board approval could be obtained. It Is likely that the removal of the one tree may ? be delayed until it can be determined if all trees are to come down. ?
