PRISONERS TO CUT
WEEDS ON HIGHWAY

Weeds along county roads VIII De
cut this year without expense to the
landowners and practically without
expense to the county. Superlnteno'
ent Jones said today.
The new automobile truck was put
in service yesterday and it was found
that twelve prisoners can be hauled
Eight are being used to repair bridge
floors and as this Is the largest force
which can be used in such work, the
truck has not had a capacity load
Within three or four weeks, gang
of prisoners will start cutting weeds
over the county. The gang will be
divided to hasten the work. Last
year the weed cutting was done by
regularly employed labor at the ex-
pense of the county.
Property owners will be compelled
to cut weeds on township roads, re-
ceiving credit on road tax at $3.50 a
day. Failure to observe the law in
this respect will mean a penalty, the
township trustee being bound by law
to have the weeds cut on township
roads and assess the charges against
the property. This law operates from
June Is to September l.
