ell by the village clerk, II. E. Clay
ton. On Mr.. Clayton's motion, Sec
onded by c. A. Keene, II was de-
cided that this project be thorough

fever season is near at hand and
quite a number of North Mankato
people are afflicted at times with
that ailment. All people are re-
quested to cut down the weeds on
their own property. Where this is
not attended to by the owners or
tenants, the village will cut them
down and charge the cost against
the owners OF the property.
