be, and the same is hereby designated as, a bird sanctuary.
A.
It shall be unlawful to trap, hunt, shoot or attempt to shoot or
molest, in any manner, any bird or wildfowl or to rob bird nests or
wild fowl nests; provided, however, if starlings or similar birds
are found to be congregating in such numbers in a particular locality
that they constitute a nuisance or menace to health or property in
the opinion of the proper health authorities of the City of Reedsburg,
then in such event, said health authorities shall meet with the representatives
of the Reedsburg Federated Women's Club, Humane Society, and bird
club or as many of said clubs as are found to exist in the City of
Reedsburg, after having given at least three days' actual notice of
the time and place of said meeting to the representatives of said
clubs.
B.
If as a result of said meeting no satisfactory alternative is found
to abate such nuisance, then said birds may be destroyed in such number
and in such manner as is deemed advisable by said health authorities
under the supervision of the Chief of Police of the City of Reedsburg.
