City Council Settles a Long Drawn
Out Struggle at Tuesday
Nights Session.

Inc Louisa City COuncll, allds
the City Fathers, met in regular
session last Tuesday night Every
member was present, and quite a
large and interested audience lis
tened to the proceedings. Routine
business was first disposed of. This
consists of hearing reports from
the Marshal, Police Judge and 9TH
er officials. Then followed re-
port from the various committees,
standing and special. The business
known as unfinished" left over
from the previous meetings, is then
called for and completed or contin-
ued as the case may be. After this
there is a call for new business,
and on Tuesday night some impor-
tant and interesting matters came
before the board and was properly
attended to.
One of these vitality interests us
all, and has been bone of more
| or less acrimonious discussion for
many a day. Council settled the
matter Tuesday night, and it is safe
to say that it will not be disturbed
for long time, at least for as long
time as the life of the present
Council. That yagrant COW which
pulls down your fence, befouls the
sidewalks of the city, and breaks
down the beautiful shade tree which
you planted and nursed with Sc
much care, must be kept up at al
hours, day and night, or the ownel
must pay fifty cents per day foi
each day she is prisoner If thu
penalty is not paid at the end o
ten days the animal will be solt
for cash to the highest bidder ant
the proceeds of the sale, minus tn,
costs, will be paid to the forme
owner of the COW.

have been appointed to go throug
the dusty records and report tn
result of their examination to tn
Council.
