ASK PEOPLE TO
CUT ALL GRASS
Mayor McC0D0chie States Ordi-
nance VIII BE Amended To
Cover Situation.
no RAISE OF WATER RENT
Habit of Sweeping Rubbish on
Streets and Alleys Will Not
Be Tolerated.

Mayor William McConochie in a
statement this morning says that
the present city ordinance in refer
ence to the cutting Of grass and
weeds together with the keeping
of the streets clean. will be amend
ed more drastically to enforce these
provisions.
The mayor states that the city
does not wish TO raise the water
rents to increase the city income,
but finds itself in position where
a decrease in expenses will have to
be made.
Citizens are requested to cut the
grass on the boulevards fronting
their property. The statement is
made that many people already do
this but that others do not. The
mayor says that many persons have
been in the habit of sweeping rub
bish and dry grass on the streets
and then burning it. A city ordi-
nance already provides against the
burning of rubbish on asphalt
streets, and it is now requested that
no rubbish be burned on any street
or alley as the city will not be able
to pay, for the removal of the por-
ton of dirt that remains.
It is said that the proposed
amendment will take care of the
changed conditions due to the loss
of revenue. The amendment will
state what the city will and will
not do in this situation.
In regard to the matter pertain
ing to the raise in water rents the
mayor states that Moline has been
forced to take thfs step to aid the
city finances. but that a raise here
is not desired unless it is absolutely
necessary.
