[AT] Charlie Hill,

[Bo Hinch]

Just my two cents worth . Last year I had a LARGE hackberry tree on west
side of my property about 75 feet tall with a 6 foot trunk hanging over the
property line , 25` over the top of house next door . Cost $250.00 to have
it cut into 2 foot long pieces and dropped onto my property . It would of
cost another $300.00 to have it hauled to a commercial dump but we burned
it all over a period of 7 months . Also , the hackberry tree is VERY heavy
and hard , worse than pine .
