LATIoN ORDINANCE.

1t was stated during the argument
that the reason of introducing a segre-
gated law was that the people living
in the commons might have the right
to pasture their cows on the commons.
This statement brought forth a petit
ton from c. F. Dodson, asking that
the northern boundary line be extend
ed to Third street, as he did not care
to be included in the commons Of
Macedonia"
Alderman Hayes spoke against the
passage of the law. He said he fav-
ored straightout COW law to cover
all the city. That he lived in the
commons and the present law would
only result in the people within the
segregated area driving their cows out
to pasture on the commons, or letting
them stray out there.
Alderman Dale thought this reason
faT-fetched and urged the democratic
principles of the proposed law. The
ordinance was put up for passage on
first reading and every member of the
Board voted in its favor except Alder
man Hayes Alderman Dedman said
he did not wish to be misunderstood.
That while he was voting in favor of
the law on first reading, he might vote
