CLEAN UP VACANT LOTS Owners of vacant city lots should not be permitted to continue tofeir shameless neglect of these properties allowfag grass and weeds to grow upon to em and thus to make to em nuisances which disgrace the city. Another evil whkh arises from their neglect is their becoming the deposfor all sorts of trash. A num<xf people seem to find that an way to dispose of their waste is bundlaJt_u5_and toss it upon these to be hidden ^temporarily by the tall weeds. If the bundles happen to include anything, odorous which appeals to, the dogs, they are apt to be j open and their contents scattered. People must be checked in this habit, if the lots were kept free of the weeds there would be no temptation ■ to use thfem that way. Many of these lots, if placed on the market at proper prices, would not remain vacant.
