COW PERMITTED
ON CITY STREETS
BUT NO OTHER ANIMALS AND
NO COWBELLS, IN 1872
Reason Probably That Nearly Ev
erybody. Owned Cows; Pound
Kate Low
By Victor O. Carlson
Just why milk cows were priv
ileged to roam Salem streets, in
the year 1872. while other quad
rupeds were perforce penned up, is
not indicated in old records for
that year.
Probably, it was because nearly
every one owned a cow, and de-J
pended upon it as a part of thej
food supply. The bovlnes graze&j
contentedly on the trass alone the
No bells, however, were permlti
ted. The tinkling of the clapper;
in the metallic vessel about a cow's
neck was most annoying to resi-
uenis, especially in iae aarij uiui u
in'g& and late evenings. They
sought relief from the city fathers
who enacted an ordinance prohib
iting the noise makers. J
.When horses, mules, or sheep
were found running at large, they
were taken up by the marshal and
kept at "an expense not to exceed
fl per week, until the owner was
found. In the event no one put in
a claim, they were sold and the
proceeds deposited in the city
treasury.
What a more, the marshal re
ceived $2 "for every animal he
placed in the city corral, except
sheep. He received only 60 cents
each for them.

The decision to call off the
