War on Weeds.
The Absecon Civic Club has taken
action to urge all property owners in
the city to set apart the first week in
each month as a time to cut and pull
weeds that grow during the spring
and summer. By so doing each year,
the weeds will become fewer, and
finally the nuisance will be eliminated.
City Council is cooperating in this
matter and has provided a certain
amount of money to clear the weeds
from the highways, where they grow
undisturbed.
