WEED CUTTERS
TO GET BUSY
Cost of Trimming Dense Growths tc
be Charged to Property
Owners-Avenue One
of First.

The city's scythe crew will get
busy next week, cutting weeds in all
localities where property owners
have permitted dense sgrowths to
flourish. The cost of weed cutting
will be charged to the property
owner.
Grand avenue between Tenth and
Fourteenth streets has looked like a
South African jungle for some time,
city officials say, because of weeds
growing as tall as a mans head. The
avenue will be one of the first points
attacked by the weed cutters.
In other sections OF the city, too,
property owners have become care
less and weeds are over sidewalks in
many places.
