Board of Aldermen Meet.

After months of hammering on the
dog question, Alderman Phebus pet
hobby was realized Wednesday night,
May goth, when the Board of Aldermen
| bv unanimous vote instructed Mayor
Fraley to discharge Dog Catcher Ttlow,
and ordered that committee OF three
with City Attorney Smith, be ordered to
| draft an ordinance on the dog question
| for Frederick.
Additional complaints concerning the
dog pound on the corporation lot" near
the city electric light plant, and alleged
cruelties to prisoner dogs, were brought
to light. by VIM. J. Crum and Harry +.
Cramer, who are residents of the dog
pound vicinity. Alderman Phebus
gioated over the embarrassment of his
brother Aldermen, and said, What did
tell you. gentlemen" when the COM
plants had been heard.
But because the aldermen has fired
the dog catcher, does not mean that
stray dogs will be permitted to have a
veritable paradise in Frederick, because
the entire police force will now be trans
formed into dog catchers. Those were
the Instructions of the Board of Alder
men to the Mayor
1t is reasonably certain that the Board
of Aldermen will prohibit the appear
ance of dog on the streets of Fred
erick. Violations of this ordinance will
mean heavy fine to the owner Second
ofenses will very likely mean death to
the dog at first sight. The Aldermen are
going to rid Frederick now and forever
from any danger of law suits from dog
biting.

again made its appearance. when more
than half OF the property owners of
Court Square came before the Board of
Aldermen to give their views as to the
material which is to be used in paving

ord and Court streets, and the first
