Bead of Street Department Says They
Should Keep Outlying Sidewalks
i Clear of Weeds.
Street Commissioner Cornelius yes
terday addressed the coffowiiig com
munication to The Capital Journal:
"Numerous complaints have been re
ceived from people who have occasion
to ose the sidewalks in different parts
of town where grass and weeds have
been allowed to grow to Such a height
on the parking strips and abutting prop
erty that they seriously interfere with
the proper use of such sidewalks.
"Every year the street department is
called upon to clear the weeds and tall
grass away from sidewalks in order
that pedestrians may use the same with
out having dusty grass and weeds brush
against their clothes and spoil expen
sive wearing apparel, as well as serious
ly interfere with the convenient use of
the walks.
"The department funds are limited,
and as the proper care of the parking
strips and adjacent lands is the person
1 dnty of each property owner rather
than an obligation of the public, the
wtreet department urges and requests all
resident property owners and the agents
of non resident owners, to immediately
have the tall grass and weeds properly
wit and cleared away from the side
walks throughout the city, in order that
the street department may be relieved
of the burden of this work.
"This department is at present en
gaged in constructing bridges and look
ing after the largo amount of work in
cident to street paving, and has neither,
the men or the money to do this work,
and therefore appeals to the pride and
interest of every citizen to do his share
without being personally notified or
forced to do it by the city."
All That Will Be Necessary Is to Big
Up In Comical Costume and Take
Fart in Parade.
