1. The town board or board of county commissioners shall, when petitioned by 25 percent of the taxpayers of any town or voting precinct not maintaining a separate and independent local government, pass an ordinance to prevent the running at large of any horse, mule, ass, kine, hog, sheep or goat in the town or precinct, and provide in the ordinance for the impounding of the animals as estrays and the payment of certain fees and costs before the release of such animals.
2. When the ordinance is properly drawn and signed by the chair of the town board or board of county commissioners, before going into effect it shall be published, for a period of at least 10 days, in some newspaper of general circulation published in the town or precinct, and if there be none, then in some newspaper published in the county. The cost of publication shall be paid by the town or county out of the general fund of the town or county the same as other bills.
