Photograph article dated October 21, 1949 partially reads, "Burbank's horse ordinance controversy, which played to a packed City Council chamber, will be discussed quietly by a special committee next Friday. Mayor Floyd Jolley said last night he would appoint four city officials to meet with three persons each from the San Fernando Valley horse owners Association and residents who seek changes in present ordinances covering the keeping of horses in the city... Dan McCarthy, of 1215 N. Pass Ave., accused city officials of having ignored protests against horses, as reported in the last decade... Bonnie Grey, pioneer trick rider and internationally known horsewoman, came to the defense of her ponies. 'The only disease germ a horse carries is tetanus,' she said. 'If more people would own horses, we'd all live to be 100 years old.'" Pictured is Bonnie Grey.; See image #00133519 for additional photo in this series.
