UNOBSTRUCTED IS THE VIEW up Mill Bay Road with the re
moval of the trees in front of the Walt Krafts’ and the Herman Beu
Kers’ homes just north of the Kodiak Hotel. The trees were on city
property and would have hampered the proposed paving of the road.
It was necessary to trim most of the branches due to electrical serv
ice wires running through them.
The rest of the trees in the block will not have to come down.
