Trees Replaced On James Street With Honey Locusts
Parks Commissioner Paul A. Wells said seventy-four large elms on James Street will be removed for new building construction and replaced this fall with thornless honey locust trees. The $1,750 planting and removal costs are covered by Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. and New York Telephone Co, which caused the removals to lay power and telephone lines for new commercial and office buildings. The honey locusts are fast growing, disease resistant, and will provide shade similar to elm trees.
