exempted from the ordinance were
aligned right.

leading cattle through the streets.
Alderman Richho1t said the ordinance
was defective, inasmrch as it would
prohibit the driving of herd Of horses
or cows through the city limits or
farmers from bringing cattle into the
city for sale, and that it would defeat
the idea Of a market day as proposed
by the Commercial club He had come,
