    When the 26-foot "Muffler Man" Paul Bunyan was erected in front of a Cheshire lumber business in the 1980's, the town objected to the statue, citing that it was a violated of town codes given its substantial height. Finding no limitation on flagpole height on the books, the owners of the statue replaced Bunyan's axe with an American flag.
