WEED LAW
IS PASSED
Fireworks Are Also
Banned BY Council
At Lost Meeting

The city council of Hardin
passed the weed ordinance, and
the law will become effective
within thirty days after its pas
sage and adoption. The ordin-
ance states that all weeds with
in the city limits must be kept
cut and if the work is not done
by the property owner the city
will do the work and charge it
against the property.
1t was stated that the coun-
Gil received much favorable
comment about the ordinance
and that many citizens recon-
mended the passage of such a
law.
The council requested that all
persons cooperate with the plan
so as to eliminate the neceS-
sity of enforcing the provisions
of the ordinance.
Other business to come be-
fore the council at the regular
meeting Tuesday night was the
allowing of current bills and
the receiving of reports from
the various departments.
The restoration of the re-
duced summer water rates was
ordered effective as of the April
20 meter reading, it was an
nounced.
Members of the council ap-
proved the request of the health
department concerning garbage
cans which was advertised last
week. 1t was reported that
many garbage recepticales were
being upset by dogs and other
disturbances and the garbage
scattered in the alleys making
an unsanitary situation as well
as being unsightly. Hope was
expressed that local residents
would as individuals act at once
to eliminate the present gar
bage conditions by erecting
strong protective racks for their
garbage cans. The garbage man
Is not required to pick up scat
tered garbage, it was stated.
The fireworks or d an ce
which prohibits the sale and
use of fireworks within the city
limits will be enforced this year,
it was announced. The council
in making this announcement
stated that no hardship was
intended in this action, but the
purchase of war bonds and
stamps by the younger people
with money spent on fireworks
would seem a much more wor-
thy action.

ces, profits, wages, taxes and
debts"
