just now The authorities have decided
that the buzzards which have infested
The city for so many years are undesir-
abe, aud have instructed the police de-
parrment to kill them off. For many

Ing fine for killing or maltreating buzz
yards, but this ordinance has been re-
r1l'ed by later Council which did not
hold the laDors of the carrion bird in such
hgh appreciation. The police department
Started ont two of its men, armed with
saorsuns, and they have been killing the
birds by the hundreds. The authorities
decided that the work of the buZzards had
been superseded by the systematic labors
Of the sanitary department, and that they
were not longer necessary, and had be
come nuisances.
