T at Cattle By -Law.
DEAR E.-rOSITOR —I noti e an article
from the pe of J.C.Morrison n the McKili
lop cattle b -law. He says thee is a by-lawl
prohibiting stock of any kind running ati
large on th roadways in that pownship, and
if such anin ale trespass on any, other per-
son's prone ty -they-can impound them and
put in a claim for damages. I J. C. not
if they are found on the road at all? II
iii
aware that Such animals can b impounded!
would like to ask Mr. Morrison what motive
the council sad In passing such a by-law if
it was -not to keep stock from running at
large? Dods he really think paying $3 for
a tag would do away with the nuisanee on
the roads ? , I think that any sane person
ca,n see at a [glance that there would be a
certain clas of people paying the township
to create a orse nuisance than ever. What,
about the by-law concerning drunken, men
and furious riving. Mr. Morrison shouldi
, get a by -la passed to make those men buy
a tag, so the could keep up the nuisance
and at the s me time evade the by-law. .
My own o inion is that a nerd by-law
would be th best way to do away with the
, grievance, here are Iota of young boys,
who would e quite willing to ' herd a few
sows within certain bounds on the roads.
,If persons w o wanted their cows pastured
on the road ould pay one of these boys the
price of J. Ces tag, he could make good
wages for a f w 'sleuths in the summer. He
could also de iver each man's cows . to hiei
home, and ake him keep them in all
night and until they were milked nex
morning, wh n he would be ready to tak
charge of th m again. J. C. forgets to tell
us about ot er nuisances on . the roads.
What about those trees and branehes tha
are lying etc wed along the roads? Doe
he not think that they are very dangero
to persons d iving along in the dark,
they are ofte found in the middle of th
roads, being blown there by wind -storms o
something Ise. We often Ansi some o
those man w put into office to make ou
laws, the fir t to break them. Will nom
iof the ther ratepayers thet are concerned
in these bylaws speak out and let us hear
their views on the subject. Hoping, Mr.
Editor j you will pardon me for asking you
to give these few remarks space in your
