Mr.. Coles thought that the larger
hotels, as the PIersOn ald tn, Ven
dome might be privileged to keep
several COWS So as to give their Invalid
patrons without delay the best milk
Inc PlerSon people had recently
bought several tine COWS, and there
were no Residences anywhere near
where those COWS We're kept. The sem
t1ment OF the BOARD seemed to be that
If no one complained of the COWS as a

Win. Mr.. Coles also said it was the
purpose OF the owners OF the additions
On the east side of the city 10 shut out
all da .rles, hogs, livery stables and

think there was no Immediate call for
crusade against the livery stables
as they were watched and easy to get
at IN Case any one became a NUS
ance.
DR.. 4andell called the attention OF
