Although the annual May festival
at Westfield was postponed, word
of that action was not given out
until toe late to stop the great flood
Of visitors that began to arrive in
Fairfield early Friday morning en-
route to Westfield. In some instances
they were turned back at Fairfield,
but in many cases had gotten to

Cotton had taken in for the day on
account of inclement weather. The
Age Herald bureau at Ensley was
deluged with calls during the morn

That the existing ordinance which
provide stringent regulation of places
where live stock is kept in Fairfield
would be enforced to the very let
ter was an announcement of Mayor
W. w. Pratt when asked what the
city intended to do about the cows in
Fairfield. The ordinance he ex-
planned, provides that no stable can
be maintained within so feet of any
of the owner. that the stables must
have concrete floors and the stalls
must be connected to sanitary
drain. Mayor Pratt said that II the
ordinance was enforced and all CT its
teeth used then there would be no
danger of flies breeding or any in
fections. However, he said unless the
ordinance was enforced there was
potential danger in the situation. He
added however. that the police and
sanitary officers would be en3oined
to play nc favorites and that the or
dinance would relieve the situation
without the necessity of further law.
las matter of fact, we have too
many laws" said Mayor Pratt. What
we need most of all is to enforce
those we already have
