Norfolk is to enjoy the metropolitan
Injuries of a weed ordinance. The
ordinance does not assume municipal
ownership over the weeds of the city
but holds each individual property
owner responsible for any rank growth
of weeds that may flourish either on
or in front of his property. August
l is to mark the danger line for weeds
in Norfolk if a new city ordinance in
troduced Thursday evening passes the
city council as it promises to do. A
SO fine may be levied against those
who fail to lay violent hands on the
weeds. The automobile ordinance
which was to have been launched on
local legislative seas along with the
weed ordinance failed to appear be-
cause a state law was found to fully
cover the subject.
