|ORRID DISCORD TO OTHERS
Diverse Views From Friends and
Foes of Sir Chanticleer.
LETTERS TO COMMISSIONERS
Some Approve and Others Denounce
Proposed Edict of Exile of Barn
yard King From City Life.

Are roosters blessing or nuisance p"
That question is put up to the Commits
sioners of the District of Columbia 1t
is to be decided by them within the next
few days Meanwhile the fate of the
rooster will hang in the balance.
Some time ago the health officer, Dr.
W. c. Woodward, recommended to the
Commissioners the adoption of regulations
to govern the keeping of chickens in the
District. One section provides that no
roosters shall be kept in squares of the
city which have * per cent of the prop
erty thereon improved.
That has brought to the Commissioners
letters galore. Some claim that the
Growing of the cock lulls them to sleep or
benefits persons lying on beds of illness.
Others assert that the call of the chanti-
cleer is an unmitigated nuisance that
should not be tolerated in any civilized
community.
'Tis Music to Samples.
Writing from Baltimore. Mrs A. c.
Sample says she spends every other week
in Washington.
Across the street some colored people
keep fowls she writes the Commission
ers. Mr.. Sample and myself like to
hear the roosters crow. and hope the
Commissioners will not deprive the resi-
dents of Washington of their poultry.
which are pleasure and profit to many
poor people and give annoyance to no one
but a few malicious or nervous cranks.
who. as a rule. complain of the poor
roosters In order to crafty some pitiful
grudge against the neighbor who keeps
fowls To many the ROSTERS crow is
pleasant and cheerful sound"
Speaks Gentle Word for Her. !
Most complaints have been about
Growing roosters." writes A. G. knorl of
1910 New Jersey avenue southeast. why
not let him only be exiled from the COM
planning neighborhoods?
T. E. McCardell of 6O2 H street north
east presented the contrary views of
roosters in his letter. He says that both
he and neighbor kept a rooster some
time ago.
MY neighbor became ill and the roost-
ers annoyed him during his nervous
spells" he says. We beheaded both
roosters. All is now calm and serene.
A short time ago the widow of
physician living two doors from me stop
ped me on the street and said she was
sorry we had destroyed our roosters. 1
explained the reason. She said she had
a son who was i'll from some cause and
restless and cross at nights, and that
many times she hushed him to sleep in
the cary morning by calling his attention
to the Growing chickens or ROSTERS and
he would fall asleep waiting to hear him
crow.
There is no one In our neighborhood
complains about the few chickens in the
neighborhood. l cannot understand why
the people of another section of the city
or distant from us should be the cause
of denying us the right to raise for our
own use a few chickens and get a few
eggs"

''Some men and women who have been

who cannot go to sleep on account of

IF people would go to bed at re-
spectacle hour writes David ]. E. Will
son of Randle Highlands. they would not
be bothered with roosters waking them
up"
'It is gratifying to know that steps are
being taken to limit the keeping of fOwls,'
F. S. Deland of the Winder building has
written the Commissioners. II don't know
of anything that has made life In Wash
ington more disagreeable than chickens
kept by neighbors, who have no regard
for the rights Of others.
Il have been annoyed by them for years.
Complaints to the police department did
not remove the nuisance. AT last a neigh
Dor kept both chickens and turkeys in his
yard within fifteen feet of my bedroom
window. SO that sleep was impossible
after the break of day and the stencil Of
the yard was more than we could bear.
The fact is that in our city, which Is to
be the model capital of a great nation.
the keeping of fowls within the city linn
its-fire limits-should be absolutely pro-
hibted."

Those of us who work hard through the

the night and whose tired nerves need all

some protesting against the limitation

The Board of Trade today notified the

NO person shall keep or collect any
kind of live fowls or pigeons within
100 feet of any house used for human

Commissioner Macfarland has for
