Such nn ordinance would not aflcct
the pens of hens maintained or the
presence of roosters so loentod as not
to disturb anybody. The Poultrv as

vorably. Kerne Champions I tooM .
Dr. Keene first hopped into the
limelight liv his defense of jH'ople
owning rooNtuis. lie maintained that
roosturs were an important coir in the
local economic conditions at prosont,
nnd to restrict their natural procliv
ities would be the same as the city
council takitiK food from "mothers
and babies."
Dr. Kmmoii expressed surprise nt
the uncovering of a sentimental
streak in his colleague and a rutted
that it was a ipicstiou of business.

Chief Lawtou arose to say that
crowing would be effectively stoppud
if the owner would place a rubber
lmiid around tlio neck of the rooster.
Finally the council laid the potitiou

$10 had been filed, ami this was used
as a lHis for the objection to pay
