<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV>Normally I never complain, but I have a question. For over a week I
have been calling the town offices to tell them that a branch of
one of their dying trees has fallen on a power line on my street
(44th Place), bringing it almost to the ground. After the first call (to
where I was actually switched to public works), they informed me that they would
call Pepco, and it would be taken care of. I have now called at least 4
more times, never again to speak to public works although I have been assured
that they called Pepco several times and everything will be taken care of "by
tomorrow". Guess what, still nothing OVER a week later. I really
hope no one electrocutes themselves on my street. They told me in public
works that I didn't need to call Pepco myself that it would be "taken care
of"</DIV>
<DIV>Since its not my tree (its a town tree) nor directly affecting my house,
should I just take it upon myself and call Pepco? What would everyone else
do?</DIV>
<DIV>And yes, I was also informed that the town couldn't remove dying trees
until they were actually all the way dead. The same tree dropped a branch
on my brother-in-laws car about a year ago, denting the roof and hood.
There are several dying trees on my street alone.</DIV>
<DIV>Sorry about my long rantings, but its somewhat frustrating. </DIV>
