The justices have made new rul-
ing regarding dogs, and give notice
in another column that all dogs must
be muzzled with wire muzzles until
further notice. Some of the dog
owners complain that this ruling is

zles, and they feel that if wire is
necessary it should have been required
in the first place. They also think
that there should be some kind of a
