No tree in any public way shall be removed or trimmed unless approved by the Highway Superintendent. The Town Engineer at that time will decide whether such work will be at the expense of the Town or at the expense of any individual or company requesting such work. In general, any trees removed or trimmed for public safety, or due to the condition of the tree, will be at the expense of the Town, whereas trees removed or trimmed for the convenience of individuals or companies will be at the expense of that individual or company. The Highway Superintendent shall determine whether the Town Highway Department or a licensed contractor shall do the work.
