To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council
OF the city of OwossO:
Genteman-Your committee to whom was re-
ferred the matter of the OwossO Poultry Com
pany's business do most respectfully report that
we have carefully examined the same and find
that said business Is conducted in careful man-
ner TO maiL tain a state of cleanliness and that
the same Il apparently conducted In acleanly
manner. but that the business has Outgrewn Its
present quarters and that the number Of fowls
which II Is necessary for said company to keep
and care for on said premises is so great that
the mol Q from said fowls IS certainly annoying
In the extreme to the citizens residing In the
near locality of said company's business. and at
times the OdOr Is very offensive to such an ex-
tent that we deem 1t a nuisance. and We recon-
mend that negotiations be entered into looking
for the removal Of said business, as the contln.
ued conducting of said business In It's present
location Is very annoying and offensive to people
no reside It's locality. All OF which Is submit
ted. John ]. BROWN

Dudley and make deal If possible, with power
