Is the ordinance, passed upon at last
meeting for the purpose of extermina-
ting dogs, to be enforced was the
next question under consideration. Our
policeman, upon whom this duty falls,
has only killed two dogs in the three
| weeks the law has been in effect. Still
the dogs are running about town with
out muzzles and not a few cases have
been brought before the board where
citizens have been endangered. The
discussion made it evident that the
policeman was not doing his duty.
VIM. A. FAIRIES, after the matter had
been thoroughly discussed, moved that
| nf . hn
interview Policeman Grant, and ascer-
tain what he intends to do. If he re-
fuses to enforce the ordinance, the
committee are to secure person who
will do it and do it promptly.
The chair appointed W. A. FAIRIES,
H. d. Boyer and J. @. Robinson.
J. G. Robinson, who had been rather
anxious the whole evening, to open
the sewerage debate, made motion
"that steps be taken at once for pro-
curing the necessary funds for putting
in the sewers"
H. D. Boyer thought that another
election should be called so as the
board might have the approval of the
people before taking immediate action
, VIM. FAIRIES thought the same and
talked at length on the important sub
iect. He thought too that before steps
, for borrowing this $4,000 that the
real estate tax payers should have an
other opportunity. The Board should
not be opened to censure, if the major
ity of the property holders did not ap
, prove of it. Many who voted at thu
! last election, would, if they had an
\ other opportunity not do so now.
VIM. A. FAIRIES arose to a point o
n order. He thought that the Boar'
: had no right to call another election
after the majority of the citizens hat
h cast their ballot in favor of it. JOhi
h Cosgriff was in favor of sewerage an
: thought with the rest of the Board tina
q another election should be called.
After the subject was prett
= thoroughly discussed, the question O.
n RObinsOn's motion was called for an
!, consequently lost.
n VIM. FAIRIES, at this state of proceed
a ings, moved that the secretary hav
circulars printed and sent to each res
estate taxpayer, calling for anothe
d election on the 9th of June, the poll
m to be opened between the hours of
and 6 of that afternoon, also to hav
az printed two tickets, one for and on
against. BY this means he hope
is to get an expression from the people
