WILLIAMS STREET
IS HEARD FROM
demonstrators Say They
Will Not Have Westru-
mite Paving.

Williams street was heard from this
morning at the regular meeting of
the board of public works when a
remonstrance against westrumite pave
ment was presented. and a paragraph
was attached asking for vitrifed brick
paving. The board has taken the mat
ter under advisement until July 20 BY
that time Doty street and Ogden street
Will have been heard from with a re-
monstrance against westrumite
Although the paragraph is attached
to the Williams street pavement this
is only attached by the demonstrators
and does not include all the property
owners. and tn probabilities are that
by July % there will be difference
lof opinion as to what kind Of pavement
lis wanted.
1T Is immaterial to use what kind of
pavement the people on these streets
want" said Adam Ebert, president of
the board this morning. to THE TIMES.
I'VE knew that the people wanted their
streets improved but they could not
agree and consequently we proposed
" estrumite, hoping that they would
demonstrate and decid on some pave
ment."
May BE Put on.
Peter Davis. one of the board mem
bers said that it would not be at all
surprising to him If the pavement on
Williams street would be put off until
next year
From all the talk that I hear and
the way they are on the fence about
what kind of a pavement they want
| I get the impression that some of the
property owners are trying hard to
delay the pavement until next year"

CASE WAS DECIDED
IN FAVOR OF CITY
Towle Dog Case Has Been
Precedent For Police
mems Rights Ever Since
NOTED DOG KILLING RECALLED
Supreme Court Agreed That Unmuz-
zled Dogs Ought To
Be Slain.
NOTED DOG KILLING RECALLED

Those who are interested in the ques-
tiOn as to whether a police officer has a
right to shoot dog after the mayor
has issued proclamation authorizing
that all unmuzzled dogs be shot, should
be Informed of the fact, that from the
city of Hammond case was taken to
the supreme court of the state and was
decided in favor of the city.
Everett TowIe sued.
That vase was that of Everett Towle
vs.. the City of Hammond. Everett
Towle left a valuable dog in the yard
and closed the gate. but his little boy
afterwards let him out and he went
down town to the bank where Everett
was working.
A peculiar thing about the case was
| the fact that All Walker, who was town
| Marshal at the time under Fred Motifs
| administration as mayor. borrowed
Everett Towles gun for the purpose
of killing dogs and shot the big ST.
Bernard owned by Towle with the
bankers own gun.
Towle was very angry and at once
sued the city for several hundred dol
lars. He got judgment in the lower
courts. but the case was taken to the
supreme court by the City of Hammond
and decision was rendered in favor
of the city.
Decision Set Precedent
The decision is now pointed to in
cases of the kind and is the precedent
which is used in Indiana. 1t is also
cited in cases which come up in other
states in the Union where there have
been no supreme court decisions on the
subject
The case was similar to the recent
Miller case and the courts decision
was that the law authorizes mayors tc
issue a proclamation ordering the
shooting of unmuzzled dogs. Therefore
the carrying out of this proclamation
| is in the interests of the public vel
fare and is legal
