WEED ORDINANCE IS NOW
NECESSITY IN PENSACOLA
Weeds Six Feet High in
Many Places in the City
at Present.

That an ordinance compelling prop
erty owners TO cut down weeds on
their premises and the city to keep
those on the streets in similar condi-
ton, is a necessity in Pensacola is
now clearly shown, for an inspection
of the city reveals the fact that in
many sections weeds are growing
four and five feet in height, affording
an excellent breeding place for mos
quitoes which are now more numeT-
years
Such an ordinance was in effect last
year and the year previous, while
stagnant water in all sections of the
city were oiled, with the result that
but few mosquitoes were noticeable.
During the early part of the summer
a similar ordinance was introduced in
the council but it has never become
a law and the City Board of Health
has been poweYleSs TO compel prop
erty owners to cut down weeds.

Later on. as Dallas circled the shack
with the pillow turning up wide strip
as a protection against fires. she found
that the reason she had given for the
trumpets varying was the true one.
The sun. dispensing the fog. had un-
shrouded the river and unveiled the
barracks and the bluffs. When she
saw that. of the canvas row below the
stockade not tent remained and the
campground lay deserted. While from
1t, heading northward through the post
to the faint music of the band. moved
an imposing column OF cavalry. Arms
and equipment flashed CALAMITY In the
sun. Horses curveted. Handkerchiefs
futtered goodbys from the galleries of
the line. Up Clothespin row the wives
and babies of troopers waited In little
groups At the quarters of the scouts
sounded the melancholy beat of tom
tom. Accompanying 1t and contrast
Ing with it weirdly was a plaintive ca
dence-the monotonous lament of In
dian women.
The column wound on it's way, at
Its rear the heavy rolling. white COW
cred wagon train. The band had
ceased to play. The groups that had
been waving farewells sorrowfully
dispersed. The tomtom was still, and
no wall of squaws was borne across
the river. Then Dallas again started
up Ben and Betty.
And now a sudden fit OF depression
came over her. The dew sparkled on
the grass, the air was soft, the breeze
caressing. the sun was warm on her
shoulders. Yet with all the brightness
on every hand a sense of uneasiness
would not be shaken of.
She found herself refining often to
look toward Clark's. Midway Of the
eastern ridge was a long bun blotch,
the crossing of the coulee road. Would
horse and rider pass across that spot
today? Probably not. A wave of lone
Illness and OF undeserved injury swept
her, yelling the tears to her eyes.
She was halted close to the corn
land when CHEEKY singing reached her.
Marylyn had left the shack and was
going riverward, dawdling with stud
