Work Goes Merrily On.
The issue of permits for the keeping
of chickens In general in populous squares
still goes merrily on at the health Office.
Acting Chief Inspector Conrad announced
yesterday afternoon that sixty permits
for chicken and pigeon broods have al
ready been issued and several scores OF
other applications are practically ready
to be acted upon.
No permits are required for the keep
ing of chickens or roosters In squares
of which Is per cent of the property is
not improved, but as soon as the investi-
cation of the applications for the more
populous squares is completed the inspec-
tors will take up inspections of the hen
houses in other sections. The law pro-
hiuits the keeping of chickens within
fifty feet of a dwelling outside the fire
limits and the inspectors will see that
there is no violation.
