TREE WARDEN'S REPORT.
As Tree Warden I submit the following:
Number of trees bolted, six. The balance of work done was in trimming that I found in different parts of the town that were liable to do damage to covered carriages, as the branches were hanging down and were lower than they should be for safety to passing teams.
