Squirrels Turn "Nutty,"
So Councilmen Declare
Carmel, Calif.-Carmel has another complaint. and this time it is not against the literary, artistic and musical colony that is established there. It is against squirrels. City councilmen say they have gone "nutty." Instead of eating nuts, they are chewing off the bark of pine tree branches until the latter drop to the ground.
One school of thought here insists the squirrels are entailing an unnecessary expense on the city for cleaning up the broken branches, while the second school of the squirrels is a money saver as it keeps the city from having to prune the trees.
