CHANGING SCENE IN FITZGERALD AVENUE.—The removal of about 20 ash trees in Fitzgerald avenue, between Tuam and St. Asaph streets, began yesterday. Twelve of the trees, condemned by the City Council as unsafe, had been felled and sectioned when this photograph was taken. Nine trees at the southern end of the island and one near Tuam street were all that remained. The Director of Parks and Reserves (Mr H. G. Gilpin) said that new ash trees would be planted as soon as the stumps had been removed. The old trees had begun to rot.
