amounting to N,T10.
Many requests are received by the
poundmaster to call at residences Tor
dogs and cats which the owners wish
to dispose OF. A collection wagon Is
sent each day for these animals. Dur
ing the past year 2lS9 dogs and l,Z75
cats were killed at the request OF own
ers- Not only are dogs tmpounded, but
horses, mules, cows, and goats found
wandering about the city are taken to
the little courtyard TO remain until
called for. II has never been found
necessary to place any OF these animals
in the chamber OF death. They are
usually called for within a few hours.
During the past year eleven horses,
one mule, nine cows, and fve goats were
captured on the streets or the city. All
OF them were redeemed by the owners
Rabies Cases Reported.
Mr. Kuhn has recommended to the
Commissioners the enactment OF Iegis-
Iation forbidding dogs from running
and daylight. This recommendation was
made with a view to Iessening the dan
ger to pedestrians at night from stray
dogs.
During the past year IO5- cases OF
rabies among dogs were reported to the
Health Department. SlXty-siXf persons
were bitten by dogs believed to be rabid.
Thirty animals were bitten by dogs
thought to be rabid.
The new pound will be a palace in
comparison with the present one 1t
will be constructed OF brick. The build
ing will be designed somewhat similar
to the plan OF the present structure. IN
one corner OF the building Will be the

two wings to the structure. one Will
contain eight pens for normal dogs,
four pens for mad dogs, and the death
