COWS SAVED FOR FAIRFIELD

Following a session of the city
council lasting for four hours. the
mayor and council failed to adopt an
ordinance aimed at eliminating cows.
ponies and other four-footed animals
in Fairfield. Following the appear
ance before the council of a strong
delegation of COW and pony owners,
including Charles j. Donald. T. ID.
Temple, Arthur Smith, William Israel
and others, the council reached the
conclusion that an ordinance passed
under the Decker administration had
been sleeping and to awaken that
law. enforce it unmindful of who
ever was hurt. would solve the prob
lem.
The council planned to pass an or
dinance prohibiting any COW or goat
dence or dwelling. That would have
eliminated all such animals. After
discussion participated in by many
citizens and members of the council.
the suggestion was made that stricter
enforcement of the sanitary laws as,
now exist and a strict enforcement of
the existing ordinance regarding
COWS, etc, would solve the problem
without additional legislation. And
there the matter rests. The city Of
ficialS plan to see that the conditions
of the old ordinance are strictly COM
piled with. There was obvious re-
luctance to deprive youngsters of
Fairfield of their ponies although
there were little sympathy for the
cows that roam Fairfield or those
supposedly tied up.
