To levy a charge on owners of propiexties who do not keep their grass frontages properly cut, would lead to much) unpleasantness to say the least. " It may be said Ifchat is is no hard®hip for the owner of a lawn-mower to run it over a small patch of lawn en his frontaigie, but what about the many who have no use for a lawn mower or lack the physical abildty to use one. These would be the ones who could least alford to pay the proposed charge.

It would be only a step further Ito expect us, to cleai" watertables or fill in pot-holes on the road. — I am,
