EASY SOLUTION OF
 THE WEED PROBLEM

Commissioner Truss brought to the att tention of the commission yesterday the complaint that lady allowed 'neighbor to graze her COW along the sidewalk in front of her residence, and objected when a neighbor on the other side wanted to graze her horse on the same ground.
 .The woman gave as her reason for objection to the horse, and preference for the cow,' said Commissioner Truss, that the COW will eat all of the grass and weeds and she would not have to pay to have them cut, but the horse will eat the grass and leave the weeds and she would have to have them removed
 'I would recommend" stated Commis- sioner Hornady, that you have her get another neighbor with goat to eat tup the paper and tin cans, and then she will be free of all evils. and the city will have no expense in handling her garbage even."
 This question having been raised, Ithe commi ssion decided to enforce the pound law to the letter, and hereafter any cows allowed ito graze must be tied to stake, and not left by the attendant unless tied out.

TRUSS DECLARES STREETSO OF WLAM
 ARE IN REPA AIR
Commissioner Defends Rec ord and Says He Fixed the Streets Barber
 Referred To

Commissioner Truss informed the com mission yesterday morning that there was nothing the matter with the streets people of Wylam just as bad streets on the South Side. He read the records of his office where repairs had been made in Wylam. and backed his statement with the reports
 Il was told that Mir Barber told these people last night in a speech at Vivian that he had reported 10 streets to me, and that they should have been fixed,o said MT. Truss.
 You have my letter of some 60 days ago, in which I did make a report of these conditions to you.'' replied MT. Bar Der.
 And they have been fixed, too" re- torted MT. Truss.
 A delegation from Wylam called upon MT. Truss yesterday morning to request that their streets be repaired, the com plaint growing out of a recent fire when six houses were destroyed, and it was stated that the fire departments could not reach the blaze in time, due to bad streets. MT. Truss stated that he told the delegation that he could not help what people said about him or his de- partment, that his conscience was clear, and that he tried to take care of all the complaints that come into his office, but that it is impossible to take care of them all at once, due to the amount of money he has to spend being inadequate to meet the demands He also stated that the reason the fire referred to proved so de- structive was on account of a lack of water pressure and not on account of bad streets.
