WAR ON UNLICENSED DOGS

X PETERSBURG, Val. August Elm the
Hastings Court to-day an interesting case
was partially heard. a citizen Of New
York sued a citizen Of Petersburg for
debt upon an alleged Judgment obtained
In the Municipal Court of New York
city. The defendant demurrcd to plain
.tin's declaration upon the ground that
1t did not state that the Municipal Court
was a court Of record and had juris-
diction of the subject matter and OF the
person Of the defendant either by per-
sonal summons or BY voluntary appear
ance.
Judge Mullen overruled the demurrer
on the ground that Jurors jurisdiction
would be presumed, and averred that the
defendant must controvert that fact, II
he can, by plea and not by demurrer.
Thereupon the defendant filed the plea OF
null tlel record. and also a plea to juris-
dicton. The case will be considered to-
morrow upon these pleas.

At the meeting of tho Common Council
last evening, Mr.. George Cameron. Chair

the general appropriations ordinance for
the fiscal year beginning the first OF Sep
tember 1t cannot yet be stn1,d what
will be the aggregate appropriations, as
the estimates of expenditures BY the
various municipal departments have not
been filed. The ordinance will be con-
sidered and perfected at an adjourned
meeting Of the Council, to be held on the
25th inst. 1t Is thought. however, that
the appropriations will exceed those of
the present year,
Tho city Is making arrangements to
wage war on It's unlicenced dogs. While
the owners Of valuable dogs are always
prompt to pay the license tax on them,
or to list them for taxation as property.
Many hundreds of worthless dogs escape
license altogether. The law imposing
license tax on dogs has not been strictly
enforced for years, and has been practl-
cally a dead letter To catch and lm-
pound dogs is very unpopular job, but
the city Is now seeking man for tho
place and will pay for the service.
