TO The OWNERS OF DOGS.
MAYORS OFFICE.


Alexandria, Va, JUre 6, 1908.
All persons owning or intending to keep
any animal Of the dog or canine species
should come forward on or before
JUNE TWENTY-FIFTH, 1908.
and take out license for the same from the
Auditor. After the 30th OF June all persons
owning or harbOring dogs without the re.
quired license are subject TO fine as the laws
on the subject require Of 50 or S..
Complaint has been frequently made that
many persons fail to take out their license,
and that other pay on one or two dogs when
owning and harboring more, or who send
such dogs away during the summer months
and bring them beck in the fall.
Attention has been called to this evasion Of
the law, and policemen will report all suchs
cases. and fines can be imposed upon those1
Who fail to take out licenses after trial in the
Police Court.
l.ss~In order 10 avoid any mistakes persons
who make application for licenses would do
we'll 10 write their names and number Of resi-.
dence, street. etc, ON a card or paper when
making application for their licenses to the
Auditor.
Attention is also called TO the fact that
while the payment Of license tax is required
by the laws of the city whether a dog IS kept
on the premises OF the owner at all times or
not, yet the payn eat Of such tax does not en-
title the dog to the unrestricted use Of the
streets and alleys of the city, both day and
night. for it is provided by Law that "The
Mayor in addition at any and all times, in
his discretion, by proclamation shall declare
that al such dogs rs above licensed shall be Sc.
eurely muzyled, and il any such dogs be found
running at large during the continuance Of
such proclamation without the required
muZZ'e they shall he seized by the police
force, or other persons designated by the
Mayor for such purposes" and conveyed TO 4
suitable plice and destroyed.
FRED. j. PAFF, Mayor.
The following is copy Of Section "a Of the
Licenie Law: ION every dog, regardless Of
sex, one dollar and fifty oeats."

A custom house clerk, who, prior
to his entry into Uncle Sans service,
was a schoolteacher "a good many
years yet" as he proudly informs his
associates, was standing on the corner
of Fifth and Chestnut streets one cold
day last winter, deeply engrossed In
studying a legend which appeared on
a dairy mans wagon, as follows:
"Pasteurized milk" etc.
His face wore puzzled expression,
but finally betraying evidence Of dawn
ing intelligence he remarked to a by
stander:
"Ain't these here Philadelphia milk

as anything! Pasturized milk. Ell?
