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.

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?
