Sentiment Regarding Dogs

"A dog is not a necessity, and he is al
ways a dangerous nuisance. He is a bur-
den to the poor, and If the rich must have
dog to lavish their affections upon let
them pay for the nasty brute"
The foregoing sentiment was given ex-
preston in a letter written to the Commits
soners. through the collector of taxes, yes
terday by Alfred French. He voiced his
protest against the increase In water tax
in the District. which went into effect with
the beginning of the new fiscal year. and
he asked IF it would not be more in &C
cordance with the true principles of hui
mainly to increase the tax on dogs to 500
for each dog. and thus relieve the people
of nasty and contemplate nuisance than
to increase the tax on what the very poor
have got to have and ought to have in the
greatest abundance"
No action has been taken upon the propo-
sition by the Commissioners.
