Busy School Shifts 3 Trees, Runs Up $1800-$2100 Bill

Uprooting trees can be expensive work. Moving an elm and, two lindens to "improve the landscape" before Kresge Dining Hall will cost the Business School an estimated $1,800 to $2,100.

"I've never found Harvard spends a nickle carelessly yet," Richard Halloran said last night, while admitting that his company will charge over $600 apiece for moving the elm 30 feet beside Dean David's house and shifting the lindens' position last April. He added that the trees were planted about 20 years ago and "were quite an investment then."

The Business School's $20 million expansion fund will foot the bill.
