OWNERS MUST KEEP
CHICKENS ENCLOSED
A number of complalntsiaro reach
ing Tho Herald about tho chicken
nuisance. These complaints should
bo filed with tho police, for it is (heir
business to see that tho ordinance
covering this matter is enforced.
Tho ordindnco provides that chickens
must bo kept within an enclosure.
Where owners aro so inconsiderate
of their neighbors as to permit their
chickens to run at largo, a tolephone
call to tho chief of police will abate
tho nuisance.
Chief Wilson states that ho is go
ing to permit no exceptions to -the
rule. This will be cheerful nows to
pooplo throughout tho city who are
trying to improvo their property and
it is information that should ho
taken advantage of by thoso who
