We hear quite multitude Of complaints from
the privilege given In the existing law allowing
the raising OF hogs within the Corporation Limits
The complaints grow out Of the fact that parties
are King, through the instrumentality Of the
police, TO deprive the owners Of this species of
property OF Its benefits just at the time II IA sbout
TO become available The law forbids them
being penned until after the LIST of November.
sna men ioInids them running at large or being
penned within one hundred feet Of any dwelling
Mhen there shall be complaints against them.
rms 10 Us really seems to be an absurdity, II
mere Is no impropriety in their running at large
auiing the summer and fall months, for the life
OF US we cannot see the improperly Of their run
ming al large during the winter We are no
great advocate for raising swine within the linn
lis Of The town. Still we are forced to acknowl-
edge that the privilege results In great beueht TO
the poorer classes, who avail themselves of II
when feed Is low T; and we hope that our CITY
councils will at once remove all the restrictions
out OF the way for the present, that those who
have Incurred the labor and expense of raising
such property may have the pleasure of ENJOYING
It's benefits. We object to every thing like traps
for catching those who are either inca pabIe or
