Tree Trimming Half Done

BOONE, Iowa---Boone Public Works and Parks Director, John Rouse, told the Boone Park Commission that the city's tree trimming program is half done when work was completed north of Mamie Eisenhower Avenue.  Rouse told the Commission this past week that trees in the parking had been trimmed when access was available.  Work will move south of Mamie Eisenhower and with luck will be completed in a year or so.  The Boone City Council has diverted funds used for tree planting to tree trimming rather than enforce the city ordinance requiring property owners to have the street trees trimmed.
