upon the board of directors of the
State Fair association tomorrow to
invite that body TO join the special
council committee on its trip to
Washington Friday, to invite President
Wilson and Secretary of Agriculture
Houston to visit Richmond during the

board that the council committee will
go to Washington at its own expense.
When the council authorized the
naming of the committee, no ap-
preparation was mentioned. It was
afterward learned that the sum of
$3.50 would cover the expenses. Then
this sum was asked from the finance
committee, but that body declined to
recommend any sum. 1t Is. there

MUST MUzzlE DOGS,
Or MINIMUM FINE
ALDERMAN PAUL THINKS SOME
DOGS DO NOT NEED
MUZZLE.

Dog licenses In Richmond this year
disclose the fact that there are nearly
five thousand dogs in the city. The
actual number of dogs, registered by
the payment Of tax to the city treas
urer, figures out as 1853. In addition
there are forty goats.
Superintendent Cohen, of the street
cleaning department, who has charge
of the dogs pound. fiures that the nun.
Der of dogs might register 1900, be-
cause whenever his men go into some
hodys back yard to get the ashes or
the garbage, a vicious animal makes
a break.
Alderman Paul. who opposes the
proposition of muzzling the dogs-all
dogs--says that dogs should not be
muzzled. because when dog is muz-
zled he is liable to contract the rabies
more than dog who is not muzzied.
Il am in favor of muzzlng the dog
said Alderman Paul. but there are
plenty dogs who do not need muzzling.
What ! think is that the fine for not
muzzling dogs should he placed at a
minimum. and. instead of causing
owners of pet or watch dogs be fined
a large sum. the fine he fixed al not
less than 81. as a minimum"
Many of the counties Of the State
have passed laws requiring the mug
zling of dogs. with a fine attached.
While the ordinance lies in the COM
mite on ordinances, Alderman Paul
will figure out some way by which
"all" dogs shall not be muzzled.
The proposition will come before
the ordinance committee at the meet
