WILL NOT KILL DOGS
Council Repeats That Portion Of
Ordinance so Authorizing.

Oskaloosa city council had siren
uous session Monday evening, an ad-
journed meeting that had been called
for the purpose of creating two new
precincts in Oskaloosa by the passage
of ordinance and the appointment OF
registrars, judges and clerks of cleo
ton. They passed two ordinances
and did other things. But before the
precinct ordinance was considered
the mayor and the council crossed
swords on the dog problem. Under
the existing ordinance providing for
the government of dogs, the mayor
had ordered the killing of unmuzzled
dogs on account of the hydrophobia
scare and the slaughter was to have
started tuesday morning In fact,
the chief of police had his orders to
proceed. All unmuzzled dogs running
at large were to be shot or caught and
killed without further notice.
Members of the council thought
otherwise. Even City Solicitor H. B.
Mccoy took issue with the mayor
upon the Interpretation of the ordin-
ance. DR.. NJ. F. Boyd explained the
purport and the intent and usefulness
of the muzzle order Issued by the may
or upon the recommendation of the
health officer.
Councilman Lafollette headed the
mutiny of the council and the alder
man worded an ordinance repeating
the section of the ordinance which
imposed the instantaneous death pen
atty. Hereafter in Oskaloosa dogs
cannot be killed. unless some substi-
tute for the recalled section is passed.
The ordinance went through with a
rush, nor was there any enactment in
lieu of the deposed section.
