FEW LICENSES ISSUED
Auditor Issues Only 230 Permits to
Keep Dogs During Month
of June

Notwithstanding the law and the
, fact that attention has been called to
the same several time recently, only
230 dog licenses have been issued
during the month of June. One Ii
cense was issued to resident Of
Rosemont. This means that fines will
be imposed after tomorrow upon all
persons within the limits of the city
.,of Alexandria who may be convicted
Of harboring unlicensed dogs.
AS has several times been started
during the present year, the dog
population of the city has increased
greatly. Some are foaters, which are
seemingly dumped into the city,
where they roam at will. But the
larger percentage are harbored here
and there, and hundreds who fancy
dogs and always keep them about
their homes have failed to apply for
licenses.
The police will soon begin investiga-
lions. and should delinquents be
brought before the Police Court and
convicted of -harboring dogs upon
which no licenses have been paid, it
will cost them double the amount of
the license.
1t may be stated in this connection
that allowing any specimen of the
canine species to remain fifteen days
upon ones premises makes him NJ
her responsible for the license tax
upon the animal.
Dogs occasion the authorities consi-
derable trouble every year. Some
people always pay the tax upon such
animals during the month Of June.
as has been the case this y ear, but
the larger number generally wait
until they are about to be cited to
appear before the Police Court to
answer the charge Of attempting to
evade : the law before they procure
licenses. Others will not pay until
the Police Court acts upon their case.
Of course there are more than 230
dogs in Alexandra. There are more
than this nurbsr in each ward.

for the maximum concentration on
