WEEDS AT ROADSIDE
Destruction is Duty of . Katepayers COUNTY CANNOT DO WORK f'We can't do any more goodwill work for the ratepayers, as it is cisting us too much," remarked Mr F. B. Logan, chairman, at to-day 's meeting of Ihe Hawke's Bay County Oouncil when referring to the eradication oi noxious weeds on roadsides. "The destruction of these weeds in future is to be the responsibility of the ratepayers," he continued. "The council cannot be expected to employ men and pa ythem the higlx wages they are now receiving to cut noxious weeds. In future the council ;s employees will have to be confined to doing actual road work. "I recognise that noxious weeds are becoming a great problem. The Department of Agriculture has sent out hundreds of notices to property-owners, and if the weeds are not cleared off road frontages the council will in no way be responsible.
