Berlin poqs Decrease

Berlin, Jan. 12.-The canine popu
lation of Berlin is decreasing stead
lily. From 1926 in 1909 the number
Of dogs in the city has dropped to
34,443 last year, according to tax sta
tistics just ISSUED, and an even
greater decrease is estimated for this
year. The increasing higl cost Of
living, which makes the saving Of a
tax of $3.50 yearly big item to poor
families, is undoubtedly one expla.
nation for the decrease. A further
factor this year e the dog quarantine
law, which has kept the animals
muzzled and on leading strings for
months.
There are 6749 tax-frss dogs in
the city. Eighty or these are owned
by the emperor and ambassadors and
ministers Of foreign nations. There
are LIZA draught dogs sxempt from
