Cutting the Weeds

Under the supervision of Street
Commissioner Tom Parker q syste.
matte warfare is being made on the
weeds and grass along the frrigafing
bitches in the northern part OF town,
much to the Improvement of the APP
pearance of the street. Some idea of
the task it has undertaken may be
had from the statement that there are
approximately so miles of bitches
within the city limits that have to be
cleaned up. At present four men
with scythes and two with forks, to
remove the weeds that have been cut
from the bitches in order to prevent
an overflow OF water at the street
crossings, in addition to a moving ma
chine, are employed on the job. 1t
will take this force more than two
weeks to complete the work In hand.
The expense to the city is runnin~ at
little less than $50 day. and the
total outlay on this account will ap-
proximate $500 The pay for man
and team is IS day and for fpdivid-
ual workers SO day. Few people
appreciate the magnitude of the task
in keeping the weeds cut along the
frrigating bitches. or OF the difficult
ties OF the street commissioner. in
