Council backs city manager over tree ditch plan in Oberlin
City Manager Fred Squire defends digging a drainage ditch to save two dying trees near the skating rink on Professor Street. Prof. Taylor and Weisbrod warned botanists say the trees may be savable if water is drained, though two scientists called it a gamble. Council unanimously backed the manager, noting recreation commission duties and the rink's brief winter use.
