Of the number of dogs in the city?
Mr.. Pierce replied that he had not taken
the census of them. - " f'-'-'i y

license and clearly ought to 60 to the De.
partment of Assessments, instead Of to the
Department of Finance. .saaT .--ss,,..ss

rather look after the assessment OF the dogs
than discuss the remission Of back taxes,
which the Administrator of Accounts had
thrust upon him. leI- wa
The date Of the Ordnance coming into
effect was changed to the tenth of July. and
thus amended the ordinance was passed.
