Petition, re: animals running at large. A petition, signed by furs. L. B. Fay, et al, protesting against certain conditi in that neighborhood, was presented and read as follows: To the Mayor and Members of the City Council: We the undersigned residents and taxpayers, do hereby petition the City Council of Port Townsend to rid our vicinity of such animals as cows, horses, pigs, goats and unli- censed dogs. We have found them a memace to our property. The streets and paths, as well as our property are used to pasture animals, resulting in the destruction of our lawns and gar- dens by cows and horses getting loose and wandering about at night. There are also very unsightly patches of barnyard manure on walks, paths, and on our private property, bringing large flies and insects, which do not tend toward sanitary con- ditions in our neighborhood. We also petition the members of the City Council for enforcement of the law regarding the building of barns, sheds, etc., within the neighborhood as we consider it a detriment to the valuation of our property.
