COWS ON TIIE STREETS. To the Bettor of Two 208.2: Dna SIlt,mOn 001. 214.11 TUC PORT re. fared to tlici matter of con ou the streets of Brussels. I road also the hard bit of the Mattel Now Ept, calling Brussels oow pasture. Vor one, I think the time has oome when cows and all other ani- malo should be prohibited from running at large cm tho pt,1io aerate, This is the ease at Orengeville, Mount Forest, Pelmet:stem Wingleen, °Wilma and every other piece of any uoto. Every person haviug a cow 'should keep her. My reasonsfor this are the following :—(I) The cows are all the time breaking down the sidowallte and thereby rendering Omni dangerous to walk on, especially at night. Thou there is the expense to the 107*0 to make the needed repairs ; (2) They aro nob fit to be used because of the dirt to bo found on thorn in ninny places; (8) Why should people having no oow be compelled, at a large outlay, to keep up fences to proton their gardens and prop- erty against other people's ems ? I have 28 rods of fence to be kept in order. It tacos more than $50.00 to put that fence in place and keep it right. There were two covve Out spent tho night in our garden and did more than 65.00 worth of damage. One tree that cost $1.25 was completely destroyed. Let the electors say whether the cows shall run at large any longer or not. Yours, IteilaD PALM. Brussel, Nov. 17, '97. Grey Council Meeting.
