Oentlemen:
At a meating of tlie Commission- era tast Monday night. August 2i^. a resointion waa paased antborlstng the acting Mayor and Straet Oom- mlssloner to appeal to the ciric prhta of the citizens of Plora, to cut the weeds on the vacant lota, alleys and '^ streets In froot of their property.
We have had mora moiatnra than usual, which has induced a heavier growth of weeds.
A declaration by the Board .A Health that such growth is detrK mental to the good bealtb of the citlaens would enable yonr Gommto- slonera to enforce the entrakg M Qda growth. Instead of that^pMtadnra we appeal to the cittaena of the vari¬ ous sections Of Flora ia'Witp thta matter up voluntartbr. and .proceed wtth a ragutar. vraed' campaiga. Angnst Is kill them. P. H
