Martin, [Director of the Or s, Seeds and' Weeds Branch, Ontario {Department of Agriculture, stated in a radio inter- view this week. Mr. Martin was in- terviewed by Jack McPherson on the CRBC. ~ "Perhaps the most important fea- ture of the new Act is the method of approach on the part of weed inspec- tors," Mr. Martin said. "If a serious weed problem arises on any farm, the inspector must first try to come to some mutual agreement with no means new, weeds." He points out that under Act the inspector can enter and spreading. bill to the municipal clerk. (If it is not paid, it 'is charged. against the lund as taxes. . In cities, weed inspectors must be appointed by the municipality, but it is no longer necessary. that" the in-_ spector notify the owner to cut his weeds, Notice can, under the new Act, be placed in the local newspaper and within a reasonable time the weed gang can go up and down a street on all vacant. lots where the owner has failed to do so. The bill is then handled through the tax collector. "Oftentimes the weeds can be cut in. this way more economically than by the owner; Mr. Martin states.
