POULTRY-KEEPING IN THE CITY.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —I shall feel obliged if you can enlighten us with a. copy of the City bylaws, dealing with poultry-keeping. A number of dirty, pestilential duck and fowlyards exist on small sections with dwelling-houses occupied by families on sections 33ft. by 70ft. on narrow streets in "ParoeJl. We. understand by, joining the CHy the old order of slackdom would cease, but it is not so. An inspector went his rounds in the beginning of /March, but nothing came of his visit. I have the misfortune to be sandwiched between two stinking yards. I pay a good rent for the house, and am afraid to let the children play in the backyard, so they have to run on the street. I hope our City Fathers will look to this matter, otherwise our grand drainagescheme and dust bins will prove a failure, whiile dirty feeding grounds for rats are permitted in thickly populated narrow streets. —I am, etcC, A WORKING MAN.
