North Judson Town Superintendent Marshall Horstmann provided Town Council members with a few different quotes for stump removal when members met last week.
Horstmann said that Practical Tree Service offered to remove all four tree stumps by Highland Cemetery for $1100. He added that the company C&J provided a quote $200 a piece for the three smaller stumps. A representative for that company said they would be unable to do the largest stump at the corner of Central Avenue since their machinery would not be able to access it.
Councilman Josh Brown noted that the Methodist Church has offered to pay for the cost of removing the second stump south of Central Avenue that is adjacent to their park lot. He said they’ve already been in contact with someone who is going to take care of it.
The removal of the large stump on the corner and the other stumps is up to the town.
The council asked Horstmann to look into what the cost would be for Practical Tree Service to take care of the larger stump on the corner and to see if the remaining stumps could be handled by C&J for $200 each.
That proposed plan addresses all the stumps that need to be removed and would theoretically cost less than going with just one company No official actions were taken at the time, but the matter will be readdressed at a future meeting.

Some troublesome trees and stumps have been removed in the Town of North Judson.
Over the past few months, North Judson Town Council members received a few complaints about an abundance of stumps in the town’s cemeteries and some trees that were potential safety hazards.
In order to address the concerns of the citizens, the town hired Practical Tree Service to take care of some problematic trees and stumps around town. When members met last Monday, they discussed how the removal work is now complete.
Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe stated that they removed a total of 39 stumps, at Highland. Councilman John Rowe added that another three trees were removed east of First Farmers and 9 trees and 8 stumps came out of the other cemetery, Pioneer.
Clerk-Treasurer Rowe asked members to approve a purchase order for the removal work which came to a total $7,397. The P.O. received unanimous council approval.
