Salt Lake is to make a real effort to
get rid of some OF its surplus dogs.
and last night the city council instruct

license assessor, and the city board Of
health will work with the humane Off
Ger in handling the dogs which are
without tags. The health commissioner
is authorized to appoint dog catchers
to work on salary basis. and the dogs
will be disposed of at the crematory
unless they are redeemed by owners.

ton, but he did not oppose the passage
of the payrolls last night. However,
the council referred the matter 20 the
rules committee.
