DAIRY REGULATION
ORDINANCE PASSED
ON SECOND READING
Action Is Taken on Two Pro
posed Amendments to Ordi-
nances Already Enacted.

Passa &c OF the proposed ordinance
10 regulate the keeping of dairy cows
| within the city and amendments TO
TWO other ordinances already adopted
on second readings, featured the
weekly meeting of the board of CITY
commissioners yesterday afternoon.
Several dairymen and individuals
appeared before the board an LODGED
thelr objections to the proposed ordi-
nance holding that it would not only
| work a hardship against dairynen of
PENSACOLA but many others who keep
cows and who could not afford to
measure up to the provisions Of the
measure.
This ordinance, which was intro
duced at previous meeting and
passed on first reading, makes it I'M
lawful to maintain cattle within 100
feet Of any residence, except when
one COW and its calf are kept for pri-
vate uses, provided there shall not
be created thereby any noise, or odors
or any unsanitary condition which
shall disturb or annoy any person by
diminishing or interfering with the
comfortable, quiet and healthy use

the vicinity thereof"
Petitions both for and against the
proposed measure were read before
the board. Mayor Bayiiss announced
that the board appreciated the in
terest manifested and would consider
the requests before final passage OF
the proposed ordinance.
One of the proposed amendments
was designed to remedy a technical
defect which recently enabled Wilson
& Company to escape payment Of a
packing house license tax on the
grounds that the business which that
company conducts in Pensacola does
not come under any of the provisions
now embodied in the city code relat
ing to license tax on packing houses.
Wilson & Company, incorporated un-
der the laws Of Louisiana, effected a
compromise with the city and paid a
regular wholesale dealers license,
which is considerably less than the
5000 required Of other distributors Of
cured and refrigerated meats in this
city.
It was introduced upon the recon-
Of City Attorney John B. |
Jones and passed upon both first and
second readings with the unanimous
consent Of the board. A special meet
ing will be held this morning at 10 |
o clock to have it read a third time
md adopted before October 1.
Members Of the Pensacola Women's
club were present when a proposed
amendment to the ordinance recently
enacted regulating license tax on
theatres in proportion to the admls-
,ions charged was read for the sec
md time, and protested against 1t.
rhe amendment would permit motion
picture and vaudeville theatres 10
,harse as much as 80 cents without
coming under the terms of the ex-
sting ordinance which requires extra
license from theatres that charge more
han 25 cents.
This proposed amendment WAS
,assed on second reading.
A petition signed by 81 citizens re-
idinR on East Hill asked the COM
oissioners to appoint L. F. st. Mary
g sanitary inspector for that dis
riot. This was taken under ADVISE
