 There is much complaint from the business men and residents of King man regarding the running at large of animals in the town. A loaded wagon has to have a guard on it to keep the horses or other animals from destroying the goods with which it may be loaded, while the people of the town have to tie up their gates to keep COWS, horses and burros from en- tering their yards and gardens and de- stroying trees and flowers. The super visors should enact an ordinance against animals being allowed at large in the town. (.
