COWS and SHACKS
MUST GO AT ONCE, SAYS The
CITY COUNCIL.
Civ Attorney Advises That Court
Order be Obtained Before ShaCks
are Torn Down. Cow Ordinance
PASSED Over Veto. Regrade OF
Broadway Opposed.

The leading features OF the coun cl
meeting last night were the passage OF
| the COW ordinance over the veto of Mayor
Ljndstrom, and the adoption OF "safe
and sane" method of dealing with the
shack question.
The COW ordinance was called up pv
Hart, who. with Wilson, argued in favor
OF its passage. Mayor Lindstrom repeat.
ed the objections made in his veto mes
sage, and urged that it would not be en-
forced in the outlying districts, and was
positive injury to the owners OF cows,
whose running at large injured nobody.
The ordinance was finally passed by a
unanimous vote.
Anderson brought up the ever existing
shack question, and insisted that some
thing be done. If legal battle was
imminent, he was ready for the fray, but
he was tired OF the baby play that has
been going on for the past year. At
torney Taggart vas asked if it would be
, safe for the city to order the marshal to
tear them down. The attorney rep led that
the marshal might find himself liable
for damages if he did so without cour
order: that he found some Of the shack
permits dated prior to the fire district
ordinance becoming law, AMI advised
that the city obtain an order from the
superior court before using frrce IN oroer
to avoid danger of damage suits later.
The council then took the first sensible
step that has been taken in this matter,
by directing the attorney to proceed IN
court for the removal Of the obnoxious
structures.
