CUT ROADSIDE WEEDS
STATE LAW DEMANDS

Several farmers of late have cal
led the Tribune's attention to the
heavy growth of weeds along some
of the principal highways in Free
born county," says the Albert Lea
Tribune. "There is state law which
forbids any property owner from al
lowing weeds to grow in or adjoining
his property. And in every township
there are men who are supposed to
see that these weeds do not exist. In
several places in our county quack
grass can be seen in large proper
lions growing along the roadsides at
the present time. 1t is now heavily
topped with seed ready to ripen, only
to be broadcast by the four winds
over the innocent mans land. Surely
this is the time for action. 1t should
be cut at once" Il
This is the timely advice, according
to W. F. Rosenwald, chief mainten-
ance engineer of the State Highway
department. Weeds along highways
but they are unsightly and if permit
ted to grow they become an obstruc-
ton to traffic. But in the case of
state trunk highways the advice is
not necessary, because it is part Of the.
job of maintenance patrolmen to see.
that all weeds on the right-of-way are.
cut. l,4s>!A
Maintenance patrolmen have lot
to do besides operating the graders to
keep the surface smooth. They cut
the weeds, clean out bitches and cul-
berts, fill washouts, put up warning
signs, remove obstruction to travel
and give emergency aid to motorists.
Each man is responsible for certain
section of road and he is expected to
do anything and everything within
his power to keep the road smooth
and safe for travel
