 Republican Caucus-Other Items. Definite action will be taken. it is understood. at the city council meeting this evening on the ordi- nance proposed by Dr. B. B. Rob- bins, city health officer. whereby the keeping of chickens within the boundaries Of the first taxing dis trict would be prohibited. It is ex- pected that 2 number of residents in the territory mentioned will ob- ject to the ordinance on the grounds that no nuisance Is committed by the keeping of fowl. when coops are located at least 25 feet from the nearest dwelling.
 Dr. Robbins, in his recommenda- tions to the city council. also called attention to the fact that many per- sons were aroused from their morn ing slumbers by roosters Justify an- nouncing the break of day. A num- Der of complaints of this character, the health officer pointed out, had been received by him and he was helpless to remedy the condition un- less such an ordinance was pre- scribed.
 Those who are objecting to the adoption of the proposed ordinance point out that the noise emitted from the roosters' beak is far more preferable than the bowling of stray cats on back yard fences. They also stress the fact that cats are not considerate enough to wait until daybreak to start rowling and that of the two evils, the tabby is the greater.
 Just what the ordinance commit tee. which has been considering the problem for the past month. will recommend is problematical.
