Improvements at the Dog Pound.

HOW THE 5000 APPROPRIATION HAS BEEN EX-
PENDED.
Since the first OF July last there has been a
great improvement made at the dog pound by
NJ. Einstein. The old wood pens in which the
dogs were confined have all been torn out, the
place cleaned and gentle grade made on the
ground floor and iron pens constructed ofheavy
beams and wire six feet by eight feet and five
feet hight There are three of these pens with
convenient opening SO as to put the dogs in and
take them out when wanted. The floor is OF
brick covered by the best Portland cement and
with siX-inch square gutter or trough extend
ing through the three pens, with a constant
flow OF Potomac water running through all the
time, giving all the water necessary. With the
aid of a gutta-percha hose these pens can be
kept as clean as parlor, and no unpleasant
smells can be detected anywhere about the
premises. Mr.. Einstein says there shall be no
room for criticisms, as heretofore, about his
pound.
Mr.. Blatzheim did the iron work for the pens
and they have been fitted with remark able sue
cess: The season for catching dogs commenced
on the 10th day of August, and during the in
term in which no dogs have been caught there
have been at the rate Of twenty CANNES taken
to the pound by their owners, who surrendered
them, not desiring to keep them.
The appropriation was but $500 for this SER
vice, and itsjudicious expenditure has made
great advance in the right direction.
