LAWS STRONG ARM INVOKED
TO SQUELCH GROWING COCKS

When DR.. William TindalI, Secre-
tary 70 the Board OF District Commits
sioners, awoke a few mornings ago. a
barn-yard ballad filled his troubled
thoughts. Whether the Growing of a
neighbOr's fowl or his interest In the
public veal inspired him to invoke the
law 10 put an effective quietus on all
such misunderstanding sounds IS i'm
material The fact remains that the
passage Of this doRgerel verse through
his official mind will probably Influence
the adoption Of a police regulation ia
a few days aimed at the suppression
and correction Of Growing barnyard
fowls in city back yards.
How to work such & regulation in
order that it may not meet the fate Of
the former ordinance, which struck a
snag at the hands Of learned police
court justice. is now cogitating the
doctors thoughts. This legal obstacle
surmounted. the regulation viii no
doubt take effective shape; but not
until then will the early morning slum-
berers in this bustling community
hnd their 5 o'clock nap unCisturbed by
the clarion voice OF the backyard
choFister,
No One Gets Any Sleep.
That such a regulation is needed, as
far as the city's back yards run, is un-
disputed by the official clan at the Dis
trict Building. Ever since the sun be-
gan to rise with the early morning
hours. and, because Of the heat-laden
air. windows were left open overnight.
letters in deluge complaining OF some
sleep-disturbing bird or animal have
been pouring in on the Commissioners.
They reply with sympathetic letters
10 their correspondents, but tell them
that the law by which they harmonize
discordant vocal sounds cites specificaI-
~, II unfortunately, that the rooster.
dog, eat, or miscellaneous disturber
must be deemed a neighbOrhoOd nui-
sance. and its death warrant read as
such by at least two patriots whose
love for their early morning slumber. IS
stronger than for their neighbor's fowl
or beast, as the case may be, before
the heavy arm OF the law can be in
Voked.
