Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 June 1911 — YES, WHY NOT? [ARTICLE]

YES, WHY NOT?

The city has an ordinance requiring property owners to cut the weeds and grass along their property. Why not enforce this ordinance rather than use the city team and teamster on a mowing machine in the outskirts of town to do this work. In case of fire—and no one knows when a fire may break out —the fire team should be in the ’ central part of the ciyt arther than a half mile away doing work that the city ordinances say the property owner must do.
