Legal Questions 
Owner’s Right in Village 
Trees 
Where shade trees are in an incorpor¬ 
ated village, do the property owners 
have any right as to saying anything 
about trimming of trees, or do all trees 
along highway belong to the State? If 
so, can a village board order them 
trimmed or cut down as they see fit? 
How far from the center of the road do 
the trustees of a village have control? 
If the trees are on the road along where 
an individual lives and a car runs in it 
is the individual held for damages? It 
did not seem to me that if it was on the 
road part and State left tree, property 
owner should be holden. E. s. h. 
New York. 
All trees standing on lands within the 
bounds of any highway shall be for the 
proper use of any owner or occupant of 
said land except as they may be required 
to repair the bridges of the town. The 
owner has the right to harvest fruit on 
all fruit trees standing on road line. All 
trees between the sidewalk and curb are 
the property of the abutting owner sub¬ 
ject to their removal for street purposes. 
The village law provides that the board 
of trustees may require owners of land 
to trim trees in front thereof, and upon 
default may cause such trees to be 
trimmed and assess the expenses of trim¬ 
ming to the adjoining owners. 
No, the owner of the property would 
not be liable for damage if a car owner 
drove into the trees in front of his prop¬ 
erty. N. T. 
Support of Wife and Inheri¬ 
tance After Separation 
Under the laws of New York State is a 
husband, having obtained a decree of sep¬ 
aration from his wife, legally compelled 
to contribute in some way towards his 
wife’s support? Upon the death of the 
husband, is the wife, though separated 
for 25 years, entitled to a portion of her 
husband’s estate, regardless of whether 
or not any provision was made for her in 
the will? Are the children of this union, 
though by now of age, entitled to any por¬ 
tion of the estate? T. C. w. 
New Jersey. 
As to whether or not a husband is 
obliged to contribute to the support of a 
wife from whom he has been separated by 
a decree of court, reference should be had 
to the decree itself. The wife is entitled 
to dower interest after the death of the 
husband. The children are also entitled 
to their share. N. T. 
Title to Abandoned 
Schoolhouse 
A question has arisen regarding one- 
sixteenth of an acre, supposed to belong 
to my farm, on which stands a one-room 
schoolhouse, unused for about six years. 
The lawyer, in searching my title, stated 
he could find no deed or record transfer¬ 
ring this one-sixteenth of an acre to the 
town in which it is located. I have tried 
to buy the schoolhouse, as the windows 
and doors are smashed and it is an eye¬ 
sore. Upon speaking to the head of the 
school board, he stated ther lawyer would 
have to search title, and if no deed for 
property could be found, the land would 
remain in my possession and the school- 
house be sold at auction. Can you tell 
me whether the land can be claimed by 
the school board as town property after 
being abandoned for six years? Are there 
any public school records I could search 
myself to find out if a deed was ever 
made out? I am anxious to have this 
little piece remain in my possession, as 
it would mean depriving me of about 100 
ft. frontage on a State road. E. w. F. 
New York. 
If no conveyance was made to the 
school district the title reverts to the 
original owner of the property after the 
property ceased to be used for school 
purposes, but if you purchased the ad¬ 
joining property and the land on which 
the schoolhouse was erected was excepted 
from your title you have no title to the 
schoolhouse property. N. T. 
“What on earth are you wearing all 
those coats for?” asked the neighbor. 
“Well,” was the reply, “I’m going to 
paint my barn, and the directions on the 
paint can say, 'For best results, put on 
three coats.”—The Watchword.
