COUNCIL WILL DISCUSS
IMPORTANT MATTERS
Busy Committee Meeting To-
night-Dog Owners Ex-
pected to be Present

Several important matters viii be
brought up for consideration before
the members of City Council at their
committee meeting tonight. The dog
muzzling ordinance viii be discussed
and it is expected that a number Of
dog owners viii be- on hand to advo-
cate the adoption of an amendment to
the present law, which provides that
dogs must be muzzled from May 1 to
October /. Some favor making the
muzzling period from June 1 TO Sep
tember /, while others advocate keep
ing dogs off the street altogether, un-
less kept in leash. This last named
plan is the one which is i'm effect in
New York, Philadelphia and other
large cities.
1t is probable that the members of
Council will reach a conclusion in the
garbage matter Mayor Bird wishes
the Board of Health to take over the
garbage collections and that body has
already requested Council to surrender
I the contracts under which the work is
now being done.
While some Of the councilmen do not
\ look with favor on the mayors sug-
gestion, believing that by turning the
COLLECTIONS over TO the Board of Health
the control of the crematory may fall
i'm the hands of that department, it is
understood that Council will withdraw
and surrender the contracts in it's pos.
session TO the Board Of Health.
There is a probability that the fin
ance committee of Council will take
! up the tax rate question. The com
mittee has been figuring for some time
past trying to find a way by which
the present rate can be maintained
1t is the desire of Council to keep the
rate down. II it goes up, a genera
protest from the public is expected
