Busy Investigating Com

NUMBER IN CITY 10000
New Ordinance Proposed
to Regulate Condition
of Pens.

Now that the pigs in the city have
been almost eliminated and milk in.

plant arranged for under the new bond
issue. the city health department is
confronted with new problem that
is rapidly becoming serious one.
This Is nothing more or less THAI
chickens.
Complaints have been coming in fro.
Quently Of late from all sections Of the
city and each time Sanitary officer
Holden goes out and inspects the
chickens. Since there are approx.
mately twenty thousand chickens in
the city this is romewhat of q lob and
the officer can do but little except in.
Spect the fowls and report. All of the
residents of the city do not keep live
chickens but there are enough Of those
who DO to bring the average we'll up
aud In the residential blocka more
than half Of the citizens maintain
chicken pens.
Many Of these chicken pens are in
an unsanitary condition the greater
portion Of the year and it is the neigh.
bors who live next these unsanitary
pens who complain. They say the
odor Is offensive and the growing and
Cackling Of the fowls annoying. In
summer time the hens sometimes get
out of the pens and visit the neigh
bors' flower beds where they scratch
and destroy the tender young plants
and often cause bitter neighborhood
feuds.
Yet chickens are valuable and when
properly kept in sanitary condition
are desirable asset to a community,
IN these times of five and ten cent
eggs. Therefore the city health de-
partment Is now trying to work out
some reasonable and just regulation
for the manner in which chickens may
be kept IN the city without being OBJ
jectionable and a menace 70 the health
of the inhabitants. 1t is likely that
an ordinance will be prepared soon
which will embOdy the proper method
of keeping the fowls, since this is the
only way IN which modern sanitary
methods can be enforced in this city
The. contemplated ordinance will
prescribe the conditions under which
chickens may he lawfully kept inside
the city limits and in no case VII
any unreasonable provisions be in
cluded. Many of the present chicken
pens in the city arc in excellent sani-
tary condition and the chickens arc
clean and well cared for.
There are many other pens, however
where the chickens are kept in de-
cidedly unsanitary state and under the
present health regulations it is very
difficult to correct this fault. the own.

proposed ordinance.

SNOW STORM WILL
CLOSE LOCAL MINES
Secretary of Operators
Asso. Says Bad Weather
Affects Car Supply.

with the present car distribution
in effect on the Monongah division. a
blizzard or snow storm would SO tie up
shipping facilities that the mines of
this region would be compelled to
close down for the duration Of the
storm said d. R. Lawson, secretary
of the Central West Virginia Coal Opcr.
ators' Association this morning as he
glanced out Of his window and noted
the whirling sleet aud snow which
portended the kind OF weather in store
for the next few months.
The bad weather affects production
at the mines but negligibly, since the
major operations are carried on under
ground, II the car supply becomes
seriously affected by the weather this
winter. 1t may mean that a number
of operations will be Obliged to either
shut down, or work only part OF the
time.
Interest in the meeting Of the Fair.
mont district operators next Tuesday
grows constantly stronger as the con.
ditions which the meeting will try to
correct. grow increasingly worse. The
attendance Of practically every opera

is believed more efficient plan for

The change from IS to 80, which was
