Only 100 pounds of pressure was
used. but this was sufficient to dem

At first only two lines of hose were
used. At the last a third was added,
and the streams were directed toward
every point on the compass. In the
meantime, while a few Of the firemen
were handling the hose, the others,

The new muzzling edict, recently
revived by the Board of City Commits
sioners, will not be put into effect till
Thursday.
This announcement was made this
morning by Mayor Batson, who ex-
planned that the board. at its last ses-
sion, had been so busy that it did not
have time to elect a dog catcher. AS
the law was to have gone into effect
tomorrow, it would have been useless
without having some one to enforce it.
The board will meet Thursday and
will elect Pat McCaffery to the posi-.
tion of dog catcher Immediately aft
