L MY BE REMOVED Jfl,wmlmlhm “Takiag It Down Discussing the fate of the Court of ‘ Honor at the West Main street en- trance to Walnut Hill park at the' first meeting of the speclal commit- | tee appointed . by Mayor Paonessa, last night, Alderman W. H. Judd snd Councilmen D. L. Bartlett and | . H. Maxon expressed the convic- tion that it should be removed cause the city's official memorial i honer of those who laid .down their lives in the World war stands atop the park, and the Ceurt of Honor was only a temporary memorial which will entail a heavy expense from year to year to maintain. Alderman Judd was clected chair- man of the committee and it was de- cided to mect at 7:30 next Wednes- | day evening when, it is hoped, Al- derman Maerz and Councilman Greene will be present. Councilinan Dartlett said he can understand the sentiment that is said to exist in certain quarters, in favor of retain- ing the Court of Honor, but with the $165,000 memorial in the same park, he did not bejieve it should be | kept. He would favor a gateway or arch or some other marking of an appropriate nature at the park en- trance, and Alderman Judd suggest- | ed that ornamental lamp posts wmight be crected. Maxon said he heard sentiment in favor of maintaining an arch across the roadway at the park entrance. The members considered the feasi- Lility of holding a public hearing on | the matter at hand. Councilman Bartlett said he believed no assis- tance in solving the problem would | be derived from such a gathering | bacause it waa generally expected that the Court of Honor would be taken down and in all probability only those who favored keeping it would attend a hearing.

Hartford, Feb. 1 (UP)—The New England states have 2,139,000 acres of idle forest land that should be put to work growing trees, Presi- dent Charles Lathrop Pack of the American Tree association declared in a report to the third New Hng- land forestry congress, which open- ed here today. “New England faces a situation,” "ack said, “which is of tremendous interest to her industrial life be- cause wood is the cornerstone of all her great industries. This manufac- turing center should have forest products at her factery doors in- ‘stead of having to pay freight rates lon lumber from points as far di: tant as the Pacific coast. New Eng- land should look to her neighbor, New York, for a tree planting lcs- son.” Restocking Is Slow Figures collected by the Ameri- can Tree association show New England has a forest area of 18.- 989,800 acres naturally restocking. but this is a slow process, it was {pointed out, and calls for increased fire prevention. The * association’s survey showed Maine has 1.000,000 acres of idle land needing planting, Massachu- scfts 720.000 acres and Connecticut At the present rate of re- "planting. it will 'be 100 years before these idle acres will show a crop, Pack's report sald. 8.
