                          NOTICE

This is to remind everybody residing within the city limits of Bronte that 
there is a city ordinance against letting your chickens run loose outside 
of your own yard.  Garden time is here so, see to it that your chickens are 
kept according to law.  If you live out, away from all your neighbors, where 
the chickens will bother no one, that is all right - but if your neighbors 
are near you and are trying to raise a garden, keep your chickens up.  

Also, another, reminder: there is a law against raising hogs in the city limits. 
If you have a hog be sure to keep its pen clean so that your neighbors will not 
be bothered by the stench and the flies.  Let's all help each in these trying 
times.  Listen to this notice -- for, if someone files a complaint against you, 
then, you will have to pay a fine.

Ordered by the City Council
