correspondent of THE REPUBL1-
~ whose letter appears in this is
~gests that law be enacted
- RI sent Legislature imposing
tax of fifty cents on each dog with
in the county, the funds thus raised
to be used exclusively for the purpose
{ clearing roads of snow where they
1ecome impossible and thus relieve
o a great extent the inconvenience
lffered by every one who has occa-
on to use the highways when there
heavy fall of snow. The present
jer nearly every road within the
lty has been most effectually
,ked against travel by the UMPIRE
tied fall of snow. The law if en-
/. acted and enforced will do much to-
ward relieving such conditions and
we believe would be highly beneficial
to all concerned.
