Show LOOK BOOK AT THE WEEDS we along with many other people who have voiced their opinions are frank to admit that we have never seen our streets and sidewalks in such a condition from weeds at any previous time in our memory many sidewalks that arent paved are gro grown up completely and the weeds are almost covering the pave ment in other places and in the places where old trees were removed to make way for small ones the suckers from the old trees have made jungles and completely enveloped the small trees the city council at its meeting on tuesday discussed the problem at some length and left it unsolved except to make the suggestion that property owners make an effort to clean up at least the path walks ad their but what response this request will get at this busy time will not amount to much we are afraid and if the city could afford to appropriate money to pay for cutting cuttina 0 the weeds in all probability laborers be found to do the work we imagine the property owners would be glad to help in cleaning up the weeds except that farm and other work is so pressing now and has been all summer that they cant n m find time to care for their own premises and then the city is pread out over a large area with many home owners having upwards it if ten fifteen and twenty rods of reet frontage very little can be done towards living 1 mg the problem as the weeds nave gone to seed for the most part they are now drying up and mak trig mg fire hazards there are many who still advocate street pasturing to do the job and we doubt if this method would ta danger the new trees set out any more than will the burning oft off of we die ditch dirch banks this fall and next ing but will pai pasturing turing kill the ds d s it might have taken care of i luxuriant growth of grass and lover early in the summer but the v ed ech e ch d would probably be left it loom looks to us like the city is going to have to obtain some power driven street equipment with a mow attachment or the citizens gning to have to take the job themselves heni selves or maybe he two auld combine and do the job |
