SILVER POPLAR.
NOW NOXIOUS WEED. MOVE IN NEW BRIGHTON. Power to check the spread of silver poplar, which has been desired by tho New Brighton Borough Council for some years, was taken by the council at a recent meeting. The council took advantage of the recent addition of silver poplar to the schedule of the Noxious Weeds Act, and passed a motion formally declaring it a noxious weed. Cr. J. N. Clarke remarked that silver poplar might look very pretty, but to realise its effects it was necessary only to see “the curse of silver poplar on Jubilee Avenue.”
The Mayor, Mr. E. L. Smith, said that the council would now have power to order the clearing of properties.
