C[EAN-UPO ORDINANCES
PASSED BY CITY
Noxious Weeds Will Be Cleared
From Vacant Lots and
City Streets.
| GARBAGE DISPOSAL
Is BIG QUESTION.
IA Cleaner Better Bismarck" Is
Slogan Of the City Com
mission.

At the regular weekly meeting Of
the city commission, held Monday
evening, a garbage and weed ordi-
nance was passed on the first read
ing. The CITY fathers are anxious
to make. the capital city the cieanest
city in the state, and the new ordi.
ances passed last night are a big
step in the right direction.
The city will rut men to work at
once cutting weeds on all vacant lots
within the city limits and will also
cut all weeds on the city streets.
The noxious weed nuisance has
reached a stage, where it was abso-
lutely necessary for the city to take
action in the matter. A number of
the streets in outlying districts are
practically oyergrown with weeds,
and create anything but a favorable
impression on visitors to the city,
Some time ago the state officials had
all the weeds cut from alongside of
the street car tracks, and tne gen
eral Improvement was very notice
able. 8
A new garbage ordinance, was also
passed, making it a punishable Of
Tense to deposit garbage on any of
the city streets or alleys. Suitable
receptacles will have to be provided
hereafter by property owners, in
which to dump garbage.
Codify Ordinances.
The city attorney was ordered to
codify the city ordinances and get
them in such shape that copies can
be printed and distributed among tle
residents of the city. The ordinance
es have not been codiiled for several
years, and it will require consider
able work.
On advice of the city attorney, no
action was taken in the matter of
granting a license to tile river ferry
man, as requested by his attorney at
the last meeting. The commission
will await developments in the case
now pending in the district court rel
alive to liver ferries before taking
any action.
C~ommendable Work.
The new ordinances passed at the
meeting last night are ccmimendable
in every way, and should meet vita
the hearty approval Of all residents
of the city who are anxious to have
a cleaner city. "A Cleaner. Eetter
Bismarck" seems to be the slogan. of
the commission, and tits needless Mo
say they will meet with hearty CO.
operation on all sides in their eff
forts.
