REMOVE THE WEEDS;
TIP TO CITY CHIEFS

Editor of The Tribune--Now that the
public has been made we'll aware Of the
fact that our bakeries. butcher shops and
creameries are the worst ever" I wish
to raise my weak voice III protest against
the weeds. I do not seek notoriety nor
job as city weed lnspectress. Indeed,
no. But from the standpoint OF civic
pride 7 would ask that the weeds be
,removed from either edges Of the Side
walk opposite the Rio Grande station
New arrivals In our city have remarked
their presence, and I am sure 1t gives
our city a very villageike appearance
I believe that II the ordinance cannot be
enforced. the city would do well 10 sacri-
flee n health inspector or two and employ
a few common laborers TO remove the
weeds from tho sidewalks so that pedes-
Srians may walk without getting cockel-
burrs In their clothing.
