muulcdteu WIN lle Commissioners o''HLi-b
upon what authority they charged s. for
the redemption Of tagged dogs taken TO
the pound for not wearing a muzzle The
Commissioners answered that the law on
the subject authorized them 10 do this,
but do not agree with them. The Com
missioners pointed out an act approved
June 10. 1873. which gives them power TO
levy a fine Of s. on all untagged dogs taken
10 the pound. The law is absolutely silent
on captured unmuzzled dogs. making no
reference to fine Of s. IN such case.
Yet the Commissioners daily charge that
amount for the redemption Of unmuzzled
dogs that are protected by tag which
cost the owner s..
The Commissioners have no right TO
impose this fine declared Mr.. Evans,
and they have not replied in satisfac-
tory way TO my enquiry. which was made
after a personal Investigation.
