Chief Ragland says that he is de-

| surprise to see some of the city
4 officials hailed to court to answer a
charge of speeding.
The public generally Is demanding
| the enforcement OF the ordinance with
regard to dog taxes also. and 1t may
be that a campaign will be started

are bitten by mad dogs.
There are probably more worthless
dogs in Petersburg upon which no
tax Is paid than anywhere else on

and the dog ordinance has not been
enforced to any degree of public sat
isfaction for more than a year.
