ON C|TY'S DOGS
Police RelentiessIy Pursue Campaign
Against Practice Of Keeping IN
licensed CANNES Within the
City Limits.
OWNERS WORK SCHEMES
Clever systems Have Been Evolved
to Avoid Paying License and
Still Save tho Dos-Used
License In Rotation.

The police are relentlessly continu-
ing their campaign against the own
ing Of dogs without licenses. Every
person owning a dog must have a
license for it, or keep the animal
securely tied or confined, both day
and night. II any dog without a col
lar and 1916 license, is found at large
by policeman, 1t will lie taken to
the station.
The dogs picked up % the street
are usually held for a day or two and
then are placed in the gas box, IL
the owner has not taken steps to re-
claim them. If the owner desires to
keep the dog, he must pay $1,35 as a
dog license, and $2.85 as Payment of
the costs Of the case.
OF course the police have found
many means used to evade payment
of license. Many of these ruses
are clever and difficult to detect.
Others are not SO clever.
Claim Dog is Tied.
The most common is to maintain
that the dog Is kept tel up or in
the costs of the case.
swered by the officers as follows: eff
the dog is kept tied up, it is all right.
But II at any time 1t should be found
united outside your yard. it will be
taken and killed. If it should be seen
at large. your neighbor3, who have
paid their licenses, will feel that you
have an unfair privilege, and will re-
port to police headquarters that you
have dog, without a license, and
that it is allowed to run at large"
Usually the owner pays up.
.
Rotates License to Dogs.
Not all the schemes are SO crude
IS this. One negro has system that
is working well, although it is doubt
full how long it will. This man owns
three dogs. When the police called
he promised to get license. He did
buy one license. Now he Keeps two
of the dogs indoors. and let's one run
ut large with the license. He allows
the dogs to wear the license in rota-
ton, 80 that each dog has two days
of confinement and one o. freedom
out of every three.
In spite OF all these efforts to COM
ply with the letter and breax with the
spirit Of the law, the population Of
unlicensed dogs is decreasing rapidly
Many dogs are being sent to the
country for the summer. Before the
month is over, it is hoped by the
police to have the city free Of un-
licensed dogs.
