WANDERING COWS.
Poundmaster McNulty had the ''riot
act" read to him by Mayor Comstock.
because somebody had been to the Mavor
with yarn about the dog-catcher. Ac-
cording to the information given the
Mayor said MIR. McNulty was guilty OF
lmpounding cows that were feeding in
vacant lots, Of taking them away from
herders, and, when in,erfered with, OF
assaulting somebody.
MIR. McNulty denied that he was guilty
of any Of these charges. Some COWS had
been occupying the streets in the eastern
portion of the city and he told Street
Commissioner Green about it. Mr.
Green told him to enforce the law, and he
did so.
Mr.. Conklin said it was about time that
the practice of converting the streets OF
the city into COW pastures was stopped,
and he for one was in favor of the Pound
master enforcing the law rigidly. After
some further talk the matter was referred
to the Street Commissioner for inyestiga-
ton.
Mr. Green offered an amendment to the
proposed ordinance prohibiting dense
smoke in the district bounded by @ street
on the north and X street on the south,
the amendment extending the boundaries
so as to cover the entire city. There was
some discussion OF the ordinance, and the
Trustees agreed to postpone action on it
until next week.
Attorney Lincoln White addressed the
board with reference to the title of two
lots on the southeast corner of Fifth and
@ streets. 1t had been supposed. he said.
that these lots were owned by the city,
but he had discovered that the city had no
title to them. Although they had been
purchased from the Ralph Smith estate.
the records did not show it. On behalf of
the estate he now made proposition that
the estate pay back what it had received
and take possession of the property again.
The matter was referred to the Auditor,
with instructions to look up the title.
The board unanimously passed the or
dinance prohibiting persons under Is
years of age getting on or Off moving
street cars or steam railway trains within
the city limits. Both a fine and i'm
prisonment may be inflicted for a viola
ton of the law.
