<p>Municipal Cospokatiows. Streets. Removal of shade trees.</p> <p>Municipalities may, in proper cases, remove shade trees from the streets without incurring any liability, although the abutting owner may be damaged by their removal, if the removal of the trees was reasonably necessary in order to improve the highway.
