letters as follows: Weeds on All
Streets and in All Sections"
Evidently you have taken the word
OF others instead of familiaIizinG
yourself with the true conditions. A
great many sections OF the city are
now entirely free OF weeds and just as
fast as We can get to the other sec
tions they will all be cleaned up.
Had we pursued a course OF getting
rid of all weeds within n week or two
il would have necessitated twice the
amount Of labor we have now. For
the last two weeks we have employed
steadily from fifteen to twenty men.
Care is taken that only those who
have wives and children depending on
them are put on the force. In this
way it will give these fifteen or twen'
men steady work for four or fiV,
weeks. Had we doubled the number
Of men they would all be out of work
by now Furthermore. the constant
rains we have been having of Iate
have greatly interfered with the work
Of cutting as well as cause the quick
growth of the weeds. I doubt very
much that our city has ever been
cleaner or healthier than at present.
Yours very truly.
