DR.. Yandel appeared for the board
of health To report the limits agreed
upon by the board relative
to dairy limits. The doc,o
| referred 10 the floods occasioniu g
the movement OF Hibbert's COWS up
to near Judge MagOf1in's and the rank
smells that accompanied the movement:
also, the fact that Nesom's COWS had
been brought up into town, and tina.
Good man had paid fine OF So because
of his COWS. The board of health had
adopted the outer fire limits as the
| limits for the COW ordinance, but in
certain parts OF the city the COW limits
! were run into the city limits. a. T.
COleS ndU Wduleu NtSOm IO!ceu out,
and Alter too. The, campbell Real
Estate company did not want any
diaries on their property.
Mr.. Whitmore asked if the line
| could not have been so run as to ex-
ciu0e J. A. Smith as well as other dali
| ri, S. DR.. 1andeil replied that the
Campbell X al Estate company were
going to move both MIN and Nesom.
Mr.. Smith had large interests involved,
| no one complained of HIM, AID as be
was on the line and going 20 u owe any
how, the BOARD thought 1t advisable 10
draw the line as they did. The health
officer. it was expected, would give peO-
pie owning several COWS time in whic b
| to get rid Of them. There were
to be no hogs allowed in the city lin
lis.
Judge Coldwell held it appeared
ridiculous to run the limits clear out to
the city limits on one side and then SO
| run toe Ilue elsewhere as to allow dali
ries almost in the heart of the town,
and largely just to please few prop
erJy owners. He asked that the mat
ter be referred back to the board of
health with instructions to base the
limi is on what the puolic health de-
man led, and to go iutO effect at such IS
would give people due notice. Let the
board of health report such limits as
the public health req uired. The
judges motion prevailed.
Mr.. Whitmore said, If one is moved
lie; all be moved.

turn a building on Oregon street.

ward. Referred to the building com
miltee.
j. II. Whitei wished to buy one of
the pumps at the artes!an well; but
Mr.. Clifford thought the city should
sell all the machinery together rather
than the parts separately. Mr.. Whit
more approved of this sentiment, and
Judge Coldwell said, inform Mr.. White
that The machinery is for sale in bulk
only. 1t was so ordered.
A letter from Mr.. Mckenzie rela-
tive to interest due On war; ants was
