concise manner the Importance at
tached to the new muzzling order
which comes into force on the 10th
of next month.
In the first place no doubt everyone
is acquainted with the notice that our
worthy chief of police issued in the
periodicals of this town in which per-
sons owning dogs are warned to keep
them muzzled when on the public
highway, otherwise the owner of the
dog is liable to find his poor F'ido
stiff and cold on the local ash heap

this is as things should be- With

Therefore, as dog lover land

up a set of bylaws governing Dogs,
embodying the principles laid dowr
by other communities, which, SHOULD
read to this effect:
"All persons owning dogs are re

The procedure in London was a

Any dog found straying without
muzzle and collar was sent to a dog
home and kept there for seven day
and at the end of that time if no

II on the other hand the dog ha
its owners name and address on tn
