If YOU have chickens better keep them
at home. Don't be afraid of the hawks
or birds of the air which devour
chickens but your neighbor has filed a
complaint against you In answer 10
the said complaint Charlie Lindsay Will
pull off a real gum shoe stunt, he Will
track you to your home and inform
Won that the fowls must be penned up
and not allowed their liberty on any
occasion.
Years ago there was an ordinance
which required that chickens be penned
m during the summer season that the
radish or onion patch of your neigh5or
be not disturbed but it is evident that
some of the city fathers thought that
the people raised onions in the whites
time and passed an ordinance which
does not permit a chicken to have It's
liberty at any time during the year
not even to cross the street.
Numerous complaints have been re
ceived lately concerning the chickens
which have been given their liberty for a
short time and on each occasion Sig
nor Lindsay has requested the owners
10 nut their chickens in pen and TO
49,, +1,a,,, in the Saiu pen.
