CUT WEEDS ON 1909 LOTS
City Charges Taxpayers S1,243 for
Neglect Within Limits.

The abolition of weeds in the city
of Topeka is the subject of a twenty
page ordinance to be introduced to the
city commission Tuesday morning by
Commissioner r. D. McGiffert of the
park department.
Whenever the owners of property
did not keep the weeds cut thereon,
the city proceeded to cut the weeds
and charged the cost thereof to the
said property owners taxes. The
twenty-page ordinance explains how
many of such property owners were
neglectful and therefore will have
amounts ranging from IA cents % s4S
added to their taxes according to the
size of the tract of ground on which
they neglected to have the weeds cut.
Since August 1, 1920, the city weed
department has cut weeds on 1893
lots or tracts of ground in the city.
Of that number of lots 81 have been
cut twice, and six have been cut three
times by the city. The city moving
machines were busy 1.145 times. The
total amount assessed the taxpayers
was $1,243.77. The largest single
amount assessed was $4S.06 while the
smallest amount assessed is IA cents.
The average amount assessed is S1.09.
The assessing of the cost of the
cutting and the drafting of the ordi-
nance listing each assessment has re-
quired much tedious work in the park
department.
