MARKED FALLING OFF.

On June 20, 1911, at ten O'Clock III
the evening, the Auditor had issued
l65 licenses to keep dogs. Yesterday,
at the same hour, 65 had been issued,
or 100 less. Only % licenses have been
applied for since Saturday last.
The above figures are significant.
The canine population shows no dim
mutton. They prowl the streets in
packs and howl in nearly every neigh
borhood when people are endeavoring
to fall asleep. A crusade on the fly
is now on, and the new health law,
now before Council, is drastic. The
law against harboring unlicensed dogs
mas always been on the statute books
and while the authorities are taking
commendable measures towards keep
ing the city in a sanitary condition
NANCY and ownerless ours, which
doubtless carry more infection thd"
rodents or mosquitoes, should dem I'D
attention. Apart from the annoy
ance occasioned by worthless ours
some are vicious, and occasionally
people generally children) are at
tackled by them.
