Want to Be Unreasonable.
HE WOULD ABATE NUISANCE
But Thinks Owners Have Arguments
That Should Be Considered Be-
fore Anything Is Done.
PROTESTS ARE GIVEN HEED
HE WOULD ABATE NUISANCE

Angry protests of hundreds of owners
of chickens and pigeons in the District
against the stringent provisions of the
regulation recently promulgated by the
Commissioners governing the keeping OF
fowls have moved Commissioner Macfar-
land to recommend that the enforcement
of the order be temporarily suspended.
In suggesting this Mr. mcfarland de-
sires TO have the corporation counsel and
the health officer examine all the facts
which have been presented by chicken
and pigeon owners since the promulga-
ton &C the regulation and to determine
whether the regulation should be amend
ed. and. if SO. in what respect.
The Commissioner is convinced that
the protests are entitled to consideration.
He also desires to abate the chicken
nuisance in some way not unreasonable.
Commissioner Macfarlands recommen-
dalton has been approved by Commits
sioner West. From today until further
notice no prosecutions will be instituted
under the new regulation.
For the past three or four days the
health department of the District has
been swamped with written and verbal
protests against this new regulation. One
official of that department said today he
remembered no IeSuldtlOn promulgated ny
the Commissioners that called for more
united and bitter protest than this one
relating to fowls.
Views of Mr.. Mcfarland.
In presenting his views to his colleagues
Commissioner Mcfarland said:
During the consideration by the Com
missoners of the new regulation respect
ing the keeping of poultry in the District
Of Columbia, for several months after the
Court of Appeals declared the former reg
ulation on the subject invalid, the keep
ers of poultry made practically no repre-
sensations to the Commissioners on the
subject. The new regulation was framed
by the corporation counsel and the health
officer on such information as they had,
and with the view to meeting the require
ments of the Court of Appeals decision.
Now that the poultry regulation has
gone into operation. suggestions for It's
amendment, supported by concrete state
ments of fact. some of them presenting
apparently meritorious claims to consid-
Grafton. have come to this ONCE ana TO
the health department.. and contain much
Information not hitherto presented.
II therefore move that no prosecutions
be instituted under the new regulation
until after the corporation counsel and
the health officer have opportunity to
examine all the facts which have been
presented. and to see whether the regu-
lation should be amended. and. II SO, in
what respect, with the view to abating
the nuisances complained of in such
manner as will not be considered as un-
reasonable if the matter should be taken
into court.
