''They Gotta Quit Kickjn' Ny Houn
Dog Aroun'"
To the Editor OF The GAZETTE:

To the Editor OF THE GAZETTE:
Among other valuable public
services for which we are in
debted to our present Council there
Is none, l think. in the performance
OF which they are more entitled TO
the hearty support OF the public
than in their recent Legislation
against the dog nuisance Of Lexing-
ton.
1t is q singular fact about human
nature, or at least about the nature
OF some (otherwise) excellent human
beings, that . man may be . good
man, and in general good citizen,
and yet be willing 70 keep dog, or II
may be several dogs, In town whore
they are OF no real use, and when
be knows that they are q nuisance
and even q menace to his neighbors
His neighbors, however, canno'
protest or make complaint il the,
: are to retain his friendship. Low
a me, love my dog" And even II W
p catch one on our own premises. W
: are not at liberty to kick our neigh
o boris hound dog around The ind
4 vidual being thus helpless, tn
Town Council must come TO our RI
/, lief, and l hope that. by proper les
n islation, whether by muzzle laws
!. prohibitive tax, we shall get reli
!, from the dog nuisance from whic
q" we have so long suffered.
;r l am informed that several oil o.
N citizens have had to spend hundred
10 OF dollars. to say nothing OF SUITE
no ing much anxiety, on account OF d
al bites requiring treatment. Is
right that l should expose Z
,o nelghbor and his children to It
.rt danger, even il l am willing TO r
gs the risk myself The dog is mol
he animal, but he is too much in 9
n dence in Lexington. Let us
: n and especially the owners of dol
&C support our Council in the enfor
:, ment of this excellent measure.

Dogs Are Scarce on the Streets


Dogs are rarely seen on the
streets OF Lexington now, and the
few that venture forth are wearing
muzzles. These CANNES do not ap-
preciate these facial adornments. but
in obedience TO the powers that be
and in submission TO the authority
of Law, owners Of dogs have CON-
piled with the conditions OF the
edlct OF the Town Council and have
Gagged the mugs Of their dogs.
The dog has besn sacrificed Tor
the good Of the community. This
faithful animal, mans loyal friend
in all conditions and under all cir
cumstances, must now pay the tri
butte of his faithfulness and loyalty
Many OF the canine tribe have bee'
chased by the dog-catcher and i'm
pounded, but few OF the unlamente'
ours have remained unclaimed b
their owners.
Some protests have been hear
for requiring that dogs be muzIleC
and the officers have received son
abuse for enforcing the law. The
are simply doing their duty, hoV
ever, and in time we'll get accu:
toned TO the innovation.

DIVIDED OVER STATE HIGHWAY
Majority of Lisbon Seectmen Will Not Favor River Road to Jewett Cdy-Refuse to Sign Highway Commissioners Warrant-They Want Newent Road in Trunk Line Claim to Have Support of Nine Tenhs of the Taxpayers

road. The following resolution was favored by MT. Bromley and MT. Spen- cer and was passed by the board of selectmen, MT. Kennedy voting against it:
 Resolutions Passed.
 Resolved, as selectmen of the town of Lisbon we cannot approve of mak- ing the highway from Blissville to Jewett City through the town of Lis bon, called the river road, a state trunk road, for the following reasons:
 1. Because that road is located on the extreme east side of the town limits.
 ?. Because it is a much more ex- pensive road to build than a road from Blissville by way of Newent to Jewett City.
 3. Because it does not accommo- date and serve the large majority of the taxpayers and residents of the town of Lisbon.
 4. Because nine-tenthS of the tax payers and residents of the town of Lisbon are opposed to making the River road a state trunk road, and because said taxpayers and residents are in favor of the Newent road be- ing made the state trunk road through the town of Lisbon,
 ). Because public convenience at large is better accommodated as well as local travel by the Newent road
 6. Because in the past and at the present nine tenths of the through travel by horses and wagons and by motor cars passed over and by the Newent road.
 [. Because economy of expense as well as public convenience are best served by a road by way of Newent through the town of Lisbon.
Norwich bulletin., 1912-11-23

For some time past, the matter of a trunk line state highway through the town of Lisbon has been the subject of much discussion. The state high way commissioner has been on the groupd and met some of the citizens of the town, having in view the way a highway should go. A few people in town, it is said, desire the road from Blissville. along the Quinebaug river, to Jewett City, be made trunk line road. On the other hand, it is clalned that a very large majority of the residents of the town want the state tVunk line road to go over the highway from Blissville through New ent to Jewett City9 It appears that the state highway commissioner has selected the Quinebaug river road for the trunk highway and has forwarded to the selectmen of the town docu- ment for them to sign. giving the town of Lisbon's sanction to the river road. There is much feeling in the town against and in opposition to the river road and a town meeting is talked of to be held in Lisbon to express the towns opposition to the river road and their decision for the road by way of Norwich.
 The selectmen of the town are John e. Bromley. John Spencer and J. Har- vey Kennedy. They had a meeting on Friday and the subject matter was brought before them for discussion and decision. The result was that MT. Bromley and Mir. Spencer refused to sign the document sent by the high way commission, binding the town to the river road, and expressed them selves as in favor of the Newent road. Mr. Kennedy signed the document, and expressed himself in favor of the river
