the present political anarchy in par

MEMBERS SWITCH ON LIVE
STOCK QUESTIONS
cattell Changes Mind About Roosters
Being Nuisanee-Mayor Takes
Another View of Dog
Muzzling Law
Especial to The Herald.I

PASADENA, Nov. 16.-Todays ses-
sion of the city council was a success
sion of surprises. First came Council
man Cattell, saying that he had
changed his mind about roosters being
a nuisance; that Councilman Root was
right when he said the council should
legislate for the normal man, and he
tried to put through a live stock or
dinance not prohibiting roosters. He
even named a committee, but the three
he named voted against his request for
a new ordinance to substitute for those
defeated and il was then proposed to
POSTPONE the matter for six months.
Similarly in the matter of dog legis-
lation, the mayor requested a change
in the ordinance so that people who
didn't like to tie up a bowling dog
could muzzle it, but nothing doing.
The council merely decided to order the
present law enforced more strictly,
some because they think it the best law
ever made because il keeps dogs off
the streets, and others because they be-
lieVe in the necessity of preventing the
spread of rabies. There have now been
eighteen cases of dogs said to be suf-
fering from hydrophobia. five having
occurred within twenty-four hours.
Only three cases have been at all vio-
lent
One more surprise came in a 14-page
opinion from City Attorney j. p. Wood,
