Mount Vernon Optic-Herald

The city was asked what could be done with tree limbs that needed to be removed from the property. It was explained to place the tree limbs on the curb. It was reported that there were trees falling into the property from the land behind property. After the report the city came out and took pictures and then was asked what could be done because it was alot of overgrown trees falling over that were very large. It was asked if limbs could be cut down and it would be picked up in about two weeks. It took much longer and the trees were dried up and becoming a fire hazard, they latter came over and removerd the limds so that they would not be on the street because of the large quantity. Prior limbs were cut down into 36in limbs but remained on the street until dried and dangerous. This man tried to keep the city area neat and help citizen get the dried brush from off the road of Mt Vernon and was fired. Can someone explain this.
