However. the many substantial improvements made during the past few months and the increased cost of the public school for the coming term, made it imperative that the levy be in- creased, although there still remains in the city treasury S55OO and coal to the value Of S2OOO is on the dock duN pdlA lNls
 The dog catcher, having perform ed his duties along the lines of kill ing dogs and thereby inducing own CTS to procure licenses to protect their canines, was dicharged. Over sixty licenses were taken out and eight dogs were killed.
