All to be heart lumber, and to be let to tn e

To the Honorable Board of Mayor and Alder
men of the City of Jackson:
l am encouraged by the admirable ordinance
you lately adopted to hope that you will take
another step in the direction of abating a chron-
ic nuisance from which, in common with other
citizens, have been great sufferer | refer to
the nuisance of COWS and horses being permitted
to run at large and make their deposits on pave
ments and at entrances to private residences
Ladies on their way to church at night, and gen
uemen passing from their places of business
To their residences after dark run the risk of
stepping into piles of filth. 1t has been the
habit of some of the hackmen of the city to turn
their horses out upon the streets at night-that
they may walk upon the pavements and enjoy
the grass growing alongside, and whilst stoppInc
to Craze, leaUs heaps of manure on the pave
ments.
| have suffered so long and so severely by this
vile nuisance, have often had to go in the
morning and with my own hands removed the
offensive deposits Of cows and horses at NV
gates and on my pavements, that | beg Your
Honors to provide by suitable ordinance against
ITS continuance. Let II be understood by every
body that any citizen whose premises are thus
trespassed upon shall be fully authorized To
to shoot every COW and horse offending in the
particulars complained of herein, and no dam
age shall be recoverable by the owner of such
animal, and very long needed reform will be
introduced.
All of which is respectfully submitted by one
who is and has been a great sufferer from the
evil complained of.

men of the City of jackson:
GENTLEMEN-Your committee to whom was
referred the petition of Gen. T. j. Wharton,
beg leave to make the following report: We
have taken in consideration and believe that
the grievance made by the petitioner has be- |
come quite a nuisance in some parts of our |
MY, but under the present circumstances we 4
think 1t best for the stock to run at large as we
are threatened with the pestiIence Of peIlow |
lever and we believe that fasting cattle up in |
close pens will be conclusive of sickness
