TiEREAS, I have during the past f env months given the question of stock limits pertaining to the conditions in phis City careful and conscientious consideration and, WHEREAS, I'am of the opinion that it will be to the best interest of a majority of the citizens of our City and, WHEREAS, a great number of 'citizens are .desirous of having their fences 'moved from around, their flower- gardens and are taking,great interest and care in their lawns and premises and, WHEREAS, it is practically impossible to succeed in beautifying ones home,unless hogs, cattle, horses, mules, sheep, goats, geese and such -other stock are prevented from running at large within the city limits and, - - WHERaAS, a •great number of ci• izenT have recently B ago gone to the enormous expense of beautifying and building substantial sidewalks extending almost,'fromsone end to•the other - -of thi-s City and, WHEREAS, we•have within the last few years grown from a small town to a population of something over 309000 inhabitants and, WHEREAS,' 'nearly 'all- -other Cities of this State of the population of Beaumont have taken in the entire City w the stock limits, or are preparing to do so and, 4 -2- WHEREAS, I am reliably. inf ormed by a number of citizens that it requires as much feed to take care of a cow when permitted to run at large as it does were she kept, up or staked out and, WHEREAS, heretofore it has.been compulsory for citizens living outside of the stock limits to build fences around their residences and, WMMhAS, the passage of this Ordinance will leave this matter entirely optionally -with the citizens and be a means of saving many thousands of dollars to the property owners. rNP ter duly considering the above mentioned facts and many others which are too numerous.to mention, I beg to submit herewith a minority report favoring the passage of the stock Ordinance that 'was referred to the Ordinance^Committee on November 4, 1908, taking in the entire City within the stock limits.

To the Honorable Mayor and City,Council, Beaumont, Texas. I_ :-We,-.theundersigned, who .are residentd of the Joachimi NBlanchette, Wilcox, --=- - ---- and-Cartwright and-Cartwright Additions to the city of Beaumont,respectfully request that the aforesaid additions be not included in the proposed extension of stock limits for the following reasons; That the time is not yet ripe to include, so much vacant acreage for the grass will grow so rank that it will be an -eyesore to the city. We came out this far so as to have our cows, chickens, { etc..We pay city taxes and the only benefits we get is the privilege of allowing our cows to graze on the vacant . land thereabouts , and to deprive us of that will work a,'. great -hardship --on the majority of us that work for a salary as the -milk and.butter we receive each day from our one or two cows is half the cost of livin _. To bu ' the milk and^ ^+ butter which the average family uses would take more money' than anyone working for a salary could afford. We live at the extreme limits of the city and our"cows never come down I_ into the city propex ad jaccrit " to the C �lo,ts ready for the out to eat the =.uxta L graze out on the grassy. prairies �d at ar nig g e kept in our various g milking,.,then they are turned grass that abounds in the vicinity. pnpo 417 Ca-) e �_- , 2-7 Awl C(& it f 09 n 6�a �-�..-yam,-y�r�.� ../�^i='3�i�•'-v7.*�'1- "�.y.�,..-n 1,4E 74 PZ 11 19
