' By ‘ the resolution the council authorized Bernard Clark, head of the city’s street and sewer department. to charge |5 per hour of labor for the mowing of lots owned by residents of the city of Decatur. In the past the city has charged a flat 12.50 per lot. Moat lots require at least an hour to be cleared of weeds and tall grass and some of the larger lots take up to two hours to mow. It was brought out at last night’s council meeting that many lot owners make no attempt to have their lots mowed since the city’s rate of $2.50 has been much cheaper than would be charged by a private concern. It was also pointed out that .he cost of labor and the use of equipment was well over the J2.5(T charged to do the job.
