CUT WEEDS OR PAY FINE

fled, or they will be fined in police
court for maintaining a nuisance and
in The end will also have to cut the
weeds.
"There has been the popular belief
that If the owners or agents of piece
of property fail to cut the weeds, the
city will take the task over and will
charge the cutting to the property as
taxes. "1hat is not the case. The
city will cut the weeds and charge the
expense to the property as taxes, only
where the agent or owner cannot be
located Where the owner or agent
can be located, they must cut the
weeds or they will be subject to fine
in police court for maintaing a nui-
sance. That is the law and we will
adhere strictly to it in dealing with
the weed cutting proposition.
81 have instructed Mr.. Beets, street
commissioner, to start in the morning
in the business district and notify the
owners of all weed patches to cut them
within AZ hours. If at the expiration
of that time the weeds are not cut, a
complaint will be made in police court
against the owner or agent of than
particular property. They will be
brought into police court and where
found guilty, will be fined for main
tanning nuisance.
1--WE will continue this method from
the business section to the residence
district until the entire city has been
covered. 1t is not my desire to work
a hardship on anyone. but the weeds
are a detriment to public health, and
are decidedly unsightly. They must
be cut and this ordinance must be en-
forced if every property owner in
Chickasha has to be fined"

part, or adjoining that part of the
building in which the applicant pro-
poses to operate billiard or pool hail.
The license fee is IS and must be
paid before the license is issued, upon
the satisfying of the judge that the
applicant meets all the requirements.

cided in court in favor of the defend
ant. Ninety days were given in which
the plaintiff has the right to appeal
the case. Other motions were sched

afternoon.
