TO THE
Of Dogs!

Alexandra. a.. June IL. l9lO
All persons owning or intending to
keep any animal of the dog or canine
species should come forward on or before
JUNE TWENTY-EIGHTH, 1910
and take ont a license for the same from
the Auditor. After the 3Oth of June all
persons owning or harboring dogs with
out the required license are subject to Il
fine rs the laws on the subject require of
500 or 500.
Complaint has been frequently made
that many persons fail to take out their
license, and that others pay on one or
two dogs when owning and harbOring
more or who send such dogs away dur
ing the summer months and bring them
back i'm the fall.
Attention has been called to this eva
sion Of the law. and policemen will re-
port all such cases, and fines can be inn
posed upon those who fail to take out
licenses after trial i'm the Police Court
In order to avoid any mistakes persons
who make application for licenses would
do well to write their names and number
of residence. street. etc, on card or
paper when making application for their
licenses To the Auditor.
Attention is also called to the fact that
while the payment ola license tax is re-
quired by the laws Of the city. whether
a dog is kept on the premises of the
owner at all times or not. yet the pay
ment of such tax does not entitle
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 dis
erection. by proclamation, shall declare
that all such dogs as above licensed shall
be securely muzzled, and if any such
dogs be found running at large during
the continuance of such proclamation
without the required muzzle they shall
be seized by the police force or other
persons designated by the Mayor for |
such purposes and conveyed toa suitable |
place and destroyed"
