Concord Authorities Cnt Down Trees
Under Protest.
Everything.
Oowan Dusenbery, of Concord,
owns a be ut i fid home right in town
and the authorities wanted to widen
the street six inches in order to give
the street ear track more room. There
were six stately shade trets standing
there had stood there through sun
shine and storm for many years; they
were grand old trees and Dus nherv
prized them very highly.
H was absent from the city his
people were away, and after, accord
ing to his claim, the authorities bad
told him they would not cut down
his trees, came in the night and cut
them to the ground.
Dusenbery had alnady told his
lawyer to look out and if they at
tempted to cnt his trees to enjoin
them. It is claimed that the author
ities explained to lawyer Caldwell
that the trees would not be cut.
But they were. Cutting them at
night showed the part we choose to
call questionable. It is said that Du
senbei will sue tlie city for damages
and that 1 can prove damages goes
without saying. Whether the law
awards damages in such cas.es we do
not know but there is blood on the
moon in Concord and the city will
have to explain its conduct.
