hogs and goats on the shrlbbcry ant
gardens in said district amount to NOR,
III damages than the value of the stocl
allowed to roam at large Besides
VICIOUS animals make it dangerous fo
ladies and children TO walk the street
at any time.
Several of the best schools ane
school buildings are located here, be-
sides several churches. Numerous at
tacks have been recently made by some
OF these animals on pedestrians who
nave had narrow escapes from grea
harm. The animals above referred tc
are the property of very few persons
perhaps less than half dozen.
We submit that it is unjust that the
many should be subjected to so grea,
inconvenience, danger and damage, for
the benefit of the few
trusting that your sense of Justice
will grant this relief prayed for, this
petition is respectfully submitted
