Youths seek permission to fell elm tree after fatal Manchester crash
Ten youths friends of Christopher Evans, 17, asked Manchester selectmen to cut down a 100 year old elm on Elm Road where he died in a high speed crash. They offered to sell the wood to aid Evans' family and plant a replacement tree. The board took no action, will decide at a Monday meeting, while noting the car may have been racing at 80 to 90 mph.
