Protests Against Noxious Weeds Grow in Waterloo Area
A reader complains of growing noxious weeds along Jack Hawk county highways and Waterloo vacant lots. The piece cites Iowa law sections 1555-2 and defines weeds as including Canada and Russian thistle, cocklebur, burdock, and similar pests and notes fines or city action if owners do not curtail the growth. QO Teeter, the street commissioner, will order weed-cutting at owner cost if owners do not act promptly.
