Trimming Trees in 1917


From the September 13, 2017, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"The DeKalb city authorities have had men at work the past week or ten days trimming up several hundred trees about the city, and the streets are now beginning to show the results of the work.

"The entire south side of town has been given attention, and the men are now at work on the north side, being in the neighborhood of Seventh street.  One can stand at any corner in the city now and look down the sidewalk for any distance, and there are no low hanging limbs to obstruct the view."
