Mayor to amend horse ordinance after council hearing
Mayor Fellows plans to amend the proposed horse clipping and untimpered restraint ordinance after consultations with councilmen. The tense debate split horsemen and officials, with streets and clubs pressing for rules while others defend the measure as improper. The mayor will seek changes to apply restrictions only to unreasonable durations and strike the blanket ban on leaving horses unblanketed. RK. I.
