The Doc LAw.-The CITY ordinance con.

The Doc LAw.-The city ordinance con.
corning dogs is very defective and requires amend
ment. We suppose that much the larger portion of
aSss IN the city pay no tax SSw the
police and it should be their duty to report all who
have dogs their premises without paying tax for
them, and such persons should be made to pay fine
which should be equal to the tax, and proper Pc
nalty in addition.
The tax ought besides to be heavier-much hea-
ver shuts than upon dogs; aad, in addition, Sc
we're f..e should be imposed every tax-paying slut
allowed TO get at particular period at large in the
this offence and man is liable to the same fine for
permitting his dog to at large, even though he
have collar and pay tax.
When dogs are taken in the net, and the question
tween a tax-payiug dog without collar and dog
that pays no tax Two dollars 10 the sum in bo b
cases. Now this ia manifesty unjuat. 1t is fair
question whether the dog paying tax should have
his life spared at ALI and it is certainly highly unjust
that he should submit to greater penalty than il
imposed on the tax paying dog.
Another very singular fact is, that when a man
whistles off his dog to keep him from the dog-catch-
ers that are pursuing him. according to recent deci
sions Of the Mayor he is fined dollar; but should
slave whistle him Off then his master must be fiaed
tico dollars for permitting him to do So that a.
the offence removes from q man, his penalty In
creasef; and accordingly, If slave were to permit
another save to call dog Oft then the master would
have pay three dollars for permitting his slave
errnit some else to do grevous thing a. call
dog OFT who is about to be caught in net! This is
curaifipg the privileges of master, who ought GER
tainly, If he cans WHISTLE don't want to pucker
his mouth for that purpose to he allowed to employ
his slave in doing without an increase Of the Pc
nalty.
These are matters deserving the particular atten.
ton OF the City Fathers. Dogs have increased and
moro just and rigid pocei and II possible their
bers ought to be diminished.
