At meeting Of the town council
this week an ordinance was adopted
requiring the owners of bees to re-
move their hives outside the corporate
limits of Colfax. If said owners do
not comply, at the expiration of ten
days notice the town marshal is in
structed to move them at the cost of
the owner, and fine and Imprisonment
is declared to be the penalty for not
obeying the ordinance. There is no
disputing the fact that the little bees
are troublesome customers, but we
think our "kids" have bit off more
than they can "chaw." and the best
they can do is to let matters B as they
X. Large apiaries are conducted in
many cities in spite of the discomfort
of individuals.
