Timber Trees 9 Cutting While the timber, pole and post market was in limited supply, opportunity should be taken to exploit the area of Victoria Park that was accessible, the parks and recreation committee recommended to the City Council last evening.

Without question there were several trees that could and should be removed without adversely affecting the park area.
