weed commissioners, whose duty II fs
to destroy this harmful and noxious
weed. The city OF Wash; Ia gton does
not seem to have a weed commissioner

the complainant Is met with a very

some other department. 1t is certain
that some District officer has the au
thority to abate anything that affects
the public health and lessons the en-
cheney of thousands who are engaged
in the strenuous work of the govern

in most of the public highways and
drives in the city. This Is very notice
