tion stands for Health and

ing the van and Judge w W. Slabaugh
as the principal mower, the West Omaha
Improvement club will wage war on the
weeds in the ya-d that surrounds the
house In which the club meets at the next

night This was decided last night by the
club, after a talk by Health Commissioner
Ralph. who said the weeds were certainly
disease breeders; that they attracted flies
and bugs and mosquitoes, and that the
mosquitoes did the scattering. Besides that
he said, the weeds were blot on the
beauty of any landscape and he and the
health board would do all they could to
start the war right.
Judge Slabaugh acted as chairman and
appointed George Hurd. A. w. Tidd and
Judge Estele a committee to try to get
the water main extended further west
This committee was instructed TO get busy
at once. Several members made talks on
this proposition and in regard to the weeds
and as a permanent remedy for the latter
evil Charles Ross said the park board
should take charge of the matter In or
der that the board would have the power
he said II would be necessary to again
amend the charter.
