Though their honeymoon will take

EXPECT COUNCIL
To SEAL DOOM
Of STRAY DOGS
But Kearny Authorities Don't
Want Repetition of Last Years
Troubles Over Them.

That Kearny Is being overrun by
stray dogs and that a dog-catcher is
needed was reported to the police com
mittee of the Town Council last night.
AS a result an official destroyer of
mongrels may be engaged when the
Council meets tonight. 1t was said
that once or twice a week reports are
made of children being bitten by stray
ours and ours that are not stray, but
which are allowed to roam at large I'M
muzzled.
1t is the custom of the Mayor of
Kearny to issue a proclamation every
year calling for the destruction of I'M
muzzled dogs. This proclamation will
be issued in a short time. Last year
the town engaged the services of David
Steinfeld to catch the dogs, and from
the time he assumed his duties until
the day he quit he had the town and
it's officials in constant turmoil, with
frequent threats of suits resulting from
his activity.
The question that arises at this tims
is whether or not the man who will be
engaged to do the work this year viii
make the same trouble. If such is the
case there is no doubt but that a pro-
test will be made to the Council.
