HEN'S TEETH?
To the citizens of Mt. Ayr, the ordinance restraining chickens from running at large in the town became effective today
and notice is hereby given that the ordinance will be strictly enforced. H. M. MILLER, Mayor,
Record-News April 1, 1913 NOTICE TO CHICKEN OWNERS:We have an ordinance known as a chicken
ordinance, and it has teeth in it. This ordinance has been tested in Mount Ayr and found effectual and (penalty) very
severe. Our records show a fine of $5.00 and costs was paid as a penalty for allowing chickens to run at large inside
of the incorporation. Word has come to the Mayor recently that some chickens are now running at large, so I take this method
of giving you this information for your benefit. There is no open season for chickens running at large.
- C. J. LEWIS, Mayor
