The Cow Law. -

Ed. New ENTERPRISE: If our peo-
pie will send in petition to our town
council asking them for some relief
from our present COW ordinance, ! be-
lieve these gentlemen will duly conEid-
er such petition and either repeal or
amend the obnoxious law.
THE ordinance 10 q hardship upon @
large number Of our people who pay
taxes and are good citizens, slso upon o
good many who must give up their COW
aud give up their milk If this law re-
mains o. 1t IL.
Will our councllmen please think
what this means 10 those who have no
income and who have to buy everything,
and TO their little children and to their
babiesf
II IL 10 necessary that the cows be
kept off the business streets there are
several ways Of doing so without ma
king il 30 hard. AS suggestion, sup.
pose boy is hired 10 keep them off the
two main streets. will state that this
hire will not be more than the town will
have to spend in keeping down the ad.
ditional weeds aud grass--or those keep
ing cows could be taxed for this pur-
pose.
Again, who has been benefited by
this law, and with one exception (the
dairyman) who will be beneiittedH Dc
our councilmen know that cows are now
being driven up into town by boys foI
the 10 cents IN it for 5hem? And it will
be worse later on,
As it now is, one will have to be able
to keep up COW all the time or own g
plantation, or rent pasturage, or dc
without. This means no milk or butter
for a large number as they cannot bus
it,
Was this ordinance enacted at the re-
quest Of any great number Of our citi
zens? So far as the writer knows only
two have been clamorous for this law
Is there a town the size OF Madison in
the whole South that has such law GOV
erlng so much territory
The writer also believes that oul
council can paes an ordinance that vii
