The development of a street requires the re- moval of a tree at a certain point. Mr. A. says he wouldn't have that tree removed for $1, 000. Would it damage his property to that extent? Would he pay that amount for replacing it? On what does he base his estimate of value? A private corporation or individual damages a tree in such a manner that it dies. Mr. B. brings suit and claims damages of $500 or $1, 000. The court allows him perhaps (?) $150. A city or town has a row ot trees killed by gas. The gas company is sued, and here again the court awards an arbitrary figure of perhaps $100 per tree, doubtless altogether regardless.
