limit on the amount of them and that they must be kept in a cage or coop, he said he did not want to get complaints on them and having his department chase them around town. After some discussion the board agreed to keep the ordinance in place as it was written.
            Curtis and Mike Ray spoke about the property on Lincoln St., Curtis wanted to know if the town was going to move forward with cleaning it up and putting a possible lien on the property or what the plans were, after some discussion on this Henry said he would look into it as it could be going up on a tax sale in the future,
