face Pavement AT Not
More Than 60 Cents

The city council, at its regular meet
ing last night, passed the anti-dog or
finance unanimously, deferred the ap-
pro1riation for the municipal swimming
pool, ground out the usual grist of rou-
tine and adjourned TO meet next Thurs
day evening to consider bids on some
new paving to be done in this city.
The dog ordinance is substantially the
same as the one passed a year age ex'
cept that it contains provision for
the advertising OF such dogs as are
taken up and of whom the owners are
not known. In case the owner is known
the dog catcher will serve personal
notice ol the owner of the dog and
after keeping it five days, if it is not
redeemed, the animal is humanely kill
ed.
In the event that the owner of the
dog taken up is not known a notice
will be published in Il daily paper of
the city for five days. This notice
will give general description of the
dog, giving its weight, age, color, sex
and breed, if such can be ascertained
from the markings a. the animal. The
redemption fee will be SO for the first
time the animal is taken up and 81
for the second and all successive i'm
pOundings. No dog owners were pres
ent last night to object to the proposed
ordinance and the bill was placed upon
its final passage and passed.

eial club. and l.. II. McMahan. chair.
man of the committee were present
last night TO boost for the municipal
swimming pool. Councilman Huddleson
raised the objection that the bathing
beach as now used is outside of the city
limits and that the city cannot legally
appropriate money fer this purpose. He
| said that If the city council appropriat.
ed $3.50 for this purpose that an in.
junction would be secured against the
act. CITY attorney Trindle was called
upon for an opinion and answered that
his present Judgment was that if the
pool were outside of the city limits the
council could not legally appropriate
money ont of the 'city funds for this
purpose. He said. however. that by ap.
pointing a special police and health Of.
ficer to work botn inside and outside
the city limits it could be delegated 10
him to attend to these matters and the
cost of the maintainance of the pool be
paid out of the police funds.
The question was then raised as to
| ~ n,
outside of the city limits, and the fina
action in the matter was deferred unit

vestigated the matter fully and sub
mitted report to the council.
