We have done’ some figur ing and it looks like you’re go ing to have over $1,000 left over in your budget unless ' you get busy.” “Oh, that’s all right”, came back the innocent young man, “we just don’t need all that money" auditor looked like a car-, pcTfter’s helper who had. just been hit cn the head by a two-by-four. After catching his breath, he said something would have to be done, otherwise the Legislature “will think we are not moving qhead on our program.” A project was hatched up. The money was spent. For the next biennium the division received more money and continued to ex pand.

The decision to remove the large elm was based on the recommen dation of Norman Armstrong of the Armstrong Tree Service, Inc. oi chapei Hiii.:* ;:i: Armstrong, examining the trees last month, found a number of large wounds on the large elm and said: “Heartwood decay, which is undoubtedly throughout the tree, Will continue to progress and the cankers on the trunk are of a type that rarely, if ever, heal. While I cannot say the tree is an im mediate menace, 1 will say that if it were my responsibility and I had to make a decision, I would take the tree down. It is entirely possible that the tree would stand for many years. It will grow weak er instead of stronger as time goes on.” Armstrong recommended re placing the large elm with a Wil low Oak in as large a size as can be readily transplanted and esti mated the cost of removing the elm at $200 and pruning and treat ing the others at $150. 2 New Registrars Named; Books Open Saturday Hillsboro — Registration books for the November General Elec tion will be opened in the coun ty’s 16 precincts Saturday at 0 a.m. and remain open until sun set October 25.
