FIGHT LOOMS ON MEASURE

The city of Fairfield will probably
find serious opposition to the enforce
ment of its ordinance regulating the
distance that a COW must be stalled
from homes. according to reports
Sunday. Several owners of cows are
very reluctant to relinquish their
sources of home milk supply. 1t Is
the general opinion that If the ordi-
nance is~ enforced all cows, ponies
and goats, the two latter very popu-
lar with the children, will be auto
matically removed from Fairfield.
The ordinance has been resurrected
from long sleep. having been adopt
ed under the administration of for
mer Mayor A. c. Decker. However,
the council. upon threatening to adopt
a new ordinance, which was bitterly
contested, decided that the existing
law was sufficient. Hence the latest
report of strict enforcement.
Mayor NJ. w. Pratt and his asso-
ciates are determined to safeguard
the health of the citizens in general.
it is believed, yet they are trying to
solve the problem without injuring
those citizens that consider the per-
sonal ownership of a COW very de-
sirable.
