council at their regular meeting thursday eve ning clerk jack crawford out lined the problem to council explaining that federal stat utes call for the cooking of all swill fed to pigs which results in the offending odors as the dominion government licences these feeders council had pre viously requested the domin ion to postpone further licen ces until a regulating bylaw could be passed by whit church the proposed bylaw pro vides that no swill may tie fed to pigs if obtained other than on the property of the individ ual and no cooked material may be fed to pigs after considerable debate it was observed by deputy reeve legge that some swill feeders were able to operate without causing cooking odors in which case the objections being rais ed were because of the tho ughts of neighbors raisin pigs rather than on the actual nuisance councillor wallwork was not opposed to the raising of pigs and did not wish to hurt any swill feeders already in opera tion in the township along with
