A large tree began falling on Mill Street at Small Street Tuesday morning and its branches were leaning onto a utility pole. City crews started taking down the tree to get it off of the pole. The street was closed as the work was done and the tree cleared. Electric Department Head Jay Evans talks to the crew in the bucket as guys on the ground chipped limbs. (Photos by Barbara Green)
