The Ordinance About Hitching.

The Town Council recently adopt
ed an Ordinance, providing a penalty
for hitching horses ON the streets. or
for driving them through the cutters
on the sides of the streets. This has
been the occasion Of considerable
comment, and we have heard opin-
ions expressed pro and con. The
country people feel aggrieved about
it, and many Of the town folks OPP
pose it. We admit it is knotty
question, and one which needs care
full handling. On the one hand, coun-
try trade should not be driven from
the town, and ON the other the pc
destrians on the sidewalks and the
. cutters should be protected Each
side Is worthy of careful attention. -
Trade brings money, and it costs
money to keep the cutters in repair,
as well as to furnish new dresses
when stomping horses or loose brick
scatters mud on them. Adopting the
views of an intelligent farmer, with
whom we have conversed, we con-
clude that the Ordinance is little
too sweeping. There should be some
definite period of time fixed, so that
those visiting the town would be en-
abled to travel from place to place
for the ordinary reasonable transac-
ton of business. The farmer said to
us, quoting his own language, II
know it ruins your cutters look at
the holes paved there, and the water
standing in them to be splashed over
persons passing by--but these holes
are made by the horses Of men who
