40:64-9.  Planting and removal of trees;  notice and hearing; emergencies
    In every case where the property of an abutting owner will be chargeable with the cost of the planting of any shade tree or trees the commission shall give notice of the meeting at which it is proposed to consider said planting by  publishing the notice at least once, not less than twenty days before the meeting, in a newspaper circulating in the municipality, or by personal service  of a copy of the notice upon the abutting owner at least ten days before the  meeting.  The notice shall specify the street, streets, or portions thereof, on  which such planting is proposed and require all persons who may object thereto  to present their objections in writing at the office of the commission at or  before the meeting.  Before final action shall be taken all objections so filed  shall be considered.  The commission shall give reasonable notice of its  intention to remove, or cause the removal of, a tree, or part of a tree,  dangerous to public safety, unless public safety requires immediate removal, in  which case no notice shall be necessary.
