SMITHS DEFENSE the following following follo wint lit of facts from mr S H B smith was read and referred to the committee on sanitary regul regulations latious lati to the hon mayor and city council of salt rake lake city 1 I would respectfully represent that I 1 did not intend any disrespect to your body by bringing my cows back to bhe I 1 tenth ward waid but it was because I 1 of the bad state of the roads that rem rendered leered it impossible to haul feed for them and to have allowed them to remain there in a starving condition would have been a case of cruelty to animals I 1 now in compliance with the order of the mayor and city council Couil ell directed to city marshal J M young to remove my cows I 1 have the honor to inform the mayor and city connall that chave I 1 nave again removed them outside of the city limits and that they are again in a starving condition on account of continued bad state of the roads now I 1 wish to inform the council that I 1 have plenty of lukem and other feed lotny in my barns in the tenth ward sufficient to last for some time to come and I 1 hereby submit the ewe case for your consideration I 1 wish also to remind the council chat hat my barns are first class clam structures with floors where the cows stand that not one drop of if moisture has ever penetrated through fough th hat my cow yard has haa a hard harde cement emont bottora bottom that is impervious to water that it has been our habit to haul the manure away daily dail r and that we have kept one of the most cleanly danly dawes dairies in ili the iho city corporation which has been proven time ami and d agafon and that nine groyon tenths of our neighbors ave have signed petitions in ih our favor when we hav been so unjustly assailed by it a certain class that have no real cause of complaint whatever I 1 also wish tostat to state that although that or ordinance dinan passed the council several months ago no one has been molested except myself 1 I would not infer by this that that ordinance was passed fur my special 11 p e e 1 al benefit but it occurs to me as a liitle li t 1 1 singular when into consideration that I 1 was prosecuted on complaint of one of the eity city officers and in that complaint I 1 was charged with keeping morte than three cowk ta the be making its it a misdemeanor punishable hable by not exceeding fine or imprisonment imprisonment not exceeding thirty days for each offense now it is well known that there are many abc places in this city where only two erthree or three cowa cows are kept that are very much alea P and more properly proper properly lK come under the head of I 1 inu nuisance than an other places where four or more cows are kept i a proper and cleanly condition now I 1 believe it ai is well established that good laws do not require and it is impossible to haul to the cows where thy are no now locate dand as I 1 paid the city taxes on the juat prior to the order to remove them I 1 indulge in thab the hope 6 that your honorable body will be so fab kf kind d and considerate of the circumstances in this case as to allow me to bring tbt bowa beal baoju to the tenth Ward until tho the case ean can be
