Town of Arkadelphia v. Clark
Supreme Court of Arkansas · Decided May 15, 1889
52 Ark. 23

Town of Arkadelphia v. Clark

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Nuisance: Keeping Neither the keeping, owning, or raising of bees is, in itself, a nuisance. Bees may become a nuisance in a cit3q but whether they are so or not is a question to be judicially determined in each case. The ordinance under consideration undertakes to mike each of the acts named a nuisance without regard to the fact whether it is so or not, or whether bees in general have become a nuisance in the city. It is, therefore, too broad, and is invalid.

Affirmed.
