WAR DECLARED ON
DESTRUCTIVE FOWLS.
Police VIII Protect Flower Gardens
Ffon Now on.

Police VIII Protect Flower Gardens
FfOm Now on.
A determined effort will be made to
enforce the ordinance prohibiting cat
tie and chickens running at large with
in the city limits, and the police are
going to see to it that flower gardens,
grass plots and shrubbery receive the
protection that they are.entitled to I'M
der tho law.
Acting under instructions from May
or Myers, who has received innumera-
bic complaints on this subject, the
Clerk of Council yesterday caused to
be published the ordinance relating to
chickens. If those who own fowls, and
do not keep them in their yards, do not
start to-day and obey the ordinance,
they win be arraigned in Police Court
and fined by the Recorder. Because of
the general complaint against the vlo-
lating of this ordinance the police are
going to wage a furious war against
chickens found in the street.
Property owners have reported at po-
lice headquarters that hundreds OF dol
lars worth of plants have been de-
stroyed by chickens in the southern sec
ton of the city, on the East Side as
well as the West Side, and the fowls
win have to go. This has been settled
upon and those who have grown tired
of spending money for plants can now
beautify their property, and at the same
time add to the appearance of the city,
without fear of loss. The superintend-
ent of police stated yesterday that if
he receives further complaint about the
presence of chickens on the street he
will detail men to find out who the
owners are and place them on the in
formation docket.
This, however, will only be done as a
last resort. The uniformed men have
been instructed to notice chickens on
the streets and to docket the owners in
every case. If in this way the destruc-
tive fowls are not kept out of the
streets, more stringent measures will
be adopted. 1t has been positively set
tied however. that the chickens must
remain in the back yards.
