WEED PROBLEM
FACES CITIZENS
City Without Funds to Re-
move Rank Growth.
LAW CANNOT BE ENFORCED
Congress Failed to Appropriate Means
for Removal of Underbrush-Citi-
zens' Association Complains.

will the Honorable Commissioners
enforce the act of Congress providing
Tor the removal of weeds from lands in
the city of Washington" asks the CO.
lumbia Heights Citizens Association, IN
a communication recently sent TO the
District Building.
Congress failed to make any appro-
priation for the enforcement of the act.
and our inspectors cannot undertake the
work, as they are otherwise employed
replies the Health Department.
4 move that the writer's be so in
formed is District Commissioner Mac
farland's comment on the matter.
What May Happen.
From this it appears that, If weeds
persist in growing in the city Of Wash
ington, they will be left in peace. Nc
sacrilegious hand will uproOt them ia
the fullness Of their growth. They Will
De allowed TO spring up, take root, flour
lsh, and, In dying. leave seed that will
insure another crop Immediately.
In other words Washington is now
confronted with the probability of see
ing every vacant lot q bowling wilder
ness Ct weeds and other rank growth an
through the summer, while the fab will
bring dead and dank masses Oh se5v-
tation that win be the most fruitful
source Of disease and annoying doors.
Snakes Will have sure retreats. and the
Troublesome cats will have jungle ali
their own in which they can stalk about
and make music all tie night long.
The Only Remedy.
This summer II a citizen objects to
the weeds In the vacant lot adjoining
his residence. he viii be compelled to
take off his coat. grasp a hoe and at
tack the forest. That is. unless kind
property owners will take it on them
selves voluntarily 10 rid their holdings
of the weeds.
This. however. viii not be probable In
the past il was found that an act of
Congress was required to compel the re-
mOval Of the weeds, and Il IS not
thought that this act is any the less
necessary now.

Tuesday evening about twenty citi-
zens met at the city hall to discuss the
local grain market and if possible to
form some plan TO establish better
grades and prices. o. j. Sletten acting
as chairman and @. Il. Hildahl was
appointed secretary. The question was
discussed to considerable length and a
committee was finally appointed con-
sisting of 0. J.. Sletten, J. A. Hawkins,
@. I. Hildahl and H. G.. Raffelson, to
make the necessary arrangements and
buy grain on the streets. Whether this
will result in any material benefit to the
producer or the business of the town is
a matter which can only be determined
later on. If, as some claim, the local
buyers are working on too wide a
margin the enterprise should and will
meet with success. On the other hand
II they are paying all the grain is worth
