Threatens Drastic Action to
Enforce Ordinance

Not satisfied with the results of
warnings given to owners of dogs

strictly obeyed. Commissioner of Pub

the most severe steps in an effort TO
put stop TO the alleged rapid spread

Turner states that the only thing
he sees TO do is TO have owners of
dogs who refuse to muzzle their ami
mails arrested for not obeying the
ordinance. instead of merely impound-
ing the dogs If that does not work,
Turner will resort 10 the extreme ex-
pedient of having all unmuzzled dogs
shot on sight by the police officers.
The Oakland city pound is becoming
crowded with dogs. and the health
department is devoting all its time
to cutting off dog heads and exam
lining them for rabies. The situation
