B.C. Howell, who for the past year has been the tree expert in charge of the tree work in this town, passed away this morning at the home of his son in Tarrytown, N.Y.
Mr. Howell was 74 years of age and had been a resident of this town for the past fifteen years. He was born in Ithaca, N.Y., and the greater part of his life was spent as a civil
