Kan, City Council at the Instance Of
the Federation of Clubs, one OF the
strongest womens organizations in the
State.
For a long time the question of dog
taxes had been a botheration to the
city. Some people paid and some
didn't, and it was next to impossible
to force the delinquents to obedience.
The condition of things was some what
bettered when the dog taxes, through
an ordinance, were turned over to the
public library, and the library was CIV
en- charge of the collection. The FEEDER
alton of Clubs, which is at the helm OF
the Library Association, was consulted
as to what was the best means to rem
edy the evil. 1t was the federation that
suggested the idea of appointing Mrs.
Richart to take charge of the dog tax
es. 1t was decided to call the office
Mrs. Richart was to hold that of city
dog enumerator," as it sounded better
than dog impounder." Since that time
the question of dog taxes has been
solved.
