The Canon City Record
CITIZENS ARE NOTIFIED
TO PAY DOG TAX

The city has begun an energetic
campaign to collect the annual dog
tax, which is now delinquent, and the
owners of CANNES are being warned to
liQuidate the amount due on that ac-
count or suffer the consequences
which the ordinance provides in such
cases.
1t is the province of Park Commits
sioner C. T. Skinner to see to the col
lection of the dog tax and he is per-
forming his duties in most vigorous
manner, assuring thereby consider
able revenue to the municipal treas
ury. The license fee is two dollars
per annum for each male dog and
three dollars for each female and fail
ure to pay it is to subject poor doggie
to the risk of being taken off to the
pound by the heartless officer and
shot, unless redeemed by the owner,
or some kind-hearted friend. on terms
prescribed by the impounding Of
fcer.
Last year about $500 was turned in
to the city exchecquer from dog Ii
censes, which implies that there was
something like 1876 or 14O CANNES in
the city at that time. Some of them, of
course, escaped the argus-eyed assess
or and it is probable that the real
number of dogs owned here twelve
months ago was not much, If any, be-
low 100. 1t is not at all likely that
there has been any decrease in the
number during the past year, indeed,
the casual observer of things is ready
to swear that there has been mater
ial augmentation of the dog popula-
ton within that period. 1t might, how
ever, be a very difficult matter for the
are hard to locate at tax paying time.
Their elusiveness is really astonishing
and the officer whose duty it is to col
lect the revenue says that a great
claimants can be found for them until
they are taken away to be killed when
their owners suddenly put in an APP
peararce and purchase the liberty vi
the imprisoned CANNES.
During the month of January of
this year between twenty-five and
thirty dogs were killed in this city by
the officers because they wore no Ii
cense tag and half d dozen or more de-
linquents have come to the same ig-
nominiOus end during the last ten
days for a similar reason. There is no
of the impounding officer. They all
look alike to him and must all meet

PAY YOUR POLL TAX
BEFORE YOU ARE FINED

Street Commissioner s. B. George
is after those who have defaulted in
the payment of their poll tax with a
sharp stick, and, at his instance, war
rants were issued on Tuesday for the
arrest of fifteen delinquents on that
account Settlement are now due from
all residents of the second ward liable
to the tax, and, unless the money is
forthcoming very soon, they will be
cited to appear in court and give rea-
son for their neglect All male persons
between the ages of twenty-one and
sixty years resideing within the city
limits are subject to a poll tax of
three dollars, the revenue so derived
to be used for the improvement OF
the streets.
Many people seem to be under the
impression that they can evade the
payment of this tax by ignoring the
notice sent to them that such an as
sessment had been made and was ex-
pected to be paid. The levy Is made
under an ordinance based upon the
statutes of Colorado and can in no
way be avoided by those who are liable
for IT, Fifteen days grace are allowed
people in which to make payment af-
ter receiving Official notification Of
their liability and if not settled at the
end of that time warrants will be is
sued for their arrest. A poll tax Is an
obnoxious thing to many people, but
the only way to get rid Of its dis
agreeableness is to pay it without
cOmpulsion.
