 elm which stands o|iposite his house, 

 .and which, he says, has sheltered him 

 since his eyes "opened on this world.'' 

 Some of his neij^hbors had pcditioued 

 the council to chop the tree down, as 

 beinpf decayed and danffer<nis to |irop 

 ertv, but Mr. (Joodwin maintained that 

 the tree was in yood condition and 

 merely needed to be triinnied and 

 treated. The coum i! took the nuitter 

 under ailxisement.
