There are a large number of USE
less dogs running about the town.
They are no good to their owners
and no good to the community at
large. They keep up barking
and yelping at night, scare chill
dren, brighten horses, and make
themselves a nuisance in general.
Most cities and many towns have
license, and every dog is requir-
ed to wear a tag, or be taken in by
the dog catcher. This is good
scheme. Besides putting a little
money in the city treasury it rids
the community of numerous worth
less ours. We believe that the city
council would meet a popular de-
mand in adopting such a plan here.
Those who have dogs which they
prize for one reason or another
would not object to the small tax.
