and olhera la one which la puiiling the
council at thla time, owing to'the large
amount and scattered acreage over the
city being put into garden truck thla
fear.
The city haa ordinances forbidding
the herding of cattle within the city 'a
llmltn, but up to thla time, owing to
the largo amount of territory included
within Ihe city llmlta, much of which
has been vacant land, the herding of
c.itlle haa been permitted, although
each year It haa been the cauae of
numerous complalnta on the part of
propel ty owner -who have eereal
damage therefrom.
After discussion laat night by the
council, weighing both aldea of the
quest inn the need of feed by the
dairymen and the protection which
tmift be afforded property owners, It
wax decided that Mayor Crisler should
rnl I on tho dairymen and inform them
that I hey must provide competent
lionlei-K with their cattlo If they plan
lo herd them within the city llmlta.
One warning Is to be given, and if
complalnla are received then from any
property owners owing to damage done
lo gnrdmr. or property, the ordinances
of Ihe city are to bo strictly enforced
against all herding within the city
limits.
The only reason for an exception be
ing made at thla time was the fact that
feed is high and scarce, that the dairies
are within the city llmlta, but the coun
cil went on record aa not favoring the
damage of any property by loose cattle.
A permit to erect a barber pole at
122 South Sixth street upon applica

An application for a position aa en

and the members ofvthe Are depart'

It waa pointed out that the new
