The

are
looking
for
an
answer.
It
appears
to
them
that
the
subject
of
the
Cow
Hay
floats
is
a
political
one.
It
can
become
a
hot
political
issue,
a
two-edged
sword
which
could
cut
deep.
.
Briefly,
the
history
of
the
Cow-Bay
floats
is
this:
For

at
least
for
the
time

AV
Now
before
the
city
is
the
question
of
whether
to
invest
a
fairly
substantial
sum
to
keep
it
that
way.
As
past
experience
has
shown,
poison
by
itself
is
not
enough.
So
long
as
fresh
garbage
is
being-thrown
into
the
dump,
the
rats
will
survive.
In
the
present
case,
this
was
corrected
by

This
operation
served
the
.simultaneous
purpose
of
helping
to
develop
the
park
grounds.
The
key
to
the
problem
is
the
equipment,
which
i.rWity
does
not

Merely
as
