The dog ordinance which was brought
up at recent meeting at the request
of Chief of Police Proper was broght
up again at this meeting. No one
wished to father the ordinance at first
but after Mayor Bergheim explained
the purpose Of it Alderman Falk offer
ed to introduce it. It was given it's
first reading but failed of passage, AL
derman Moeglein voting against it,
and it was laid over until the next
meeting. Mayor Bergheim stated that
the purpose of this ordinance was to
get quick action in disposing of mad
dogs. There is state law which COW
ers this, he said, but the procedure is
very slow and the complainant must
bear the costs Of prosecution, whereas,
if this ordinance were passed, it would
only be necessary for the police to
shoot the vicious dog and have 1t bur
led. .- ---.. 49,. - =. -. rs ~, -.
Mayor Bergheim, who was requested
to investigate as to the feasibility Of
leasing the Richard and Bell property
on First street northeast as a parking
place for teams, reported that the Rich
ard property could be secured for $50
a year and the Bell property for taxes,
which amount to about $34 year. The
lots have frontage on First street of
105 feet and of $50 feet at the rear.
He said that unless q lease for more
than one year could be secured on the
lots it would not be advisable to make
any extensive improvements there.
Stalls could be built. to accommodate
about fifty teams, if the wagons were
left outside, and if only hitching posts
were used and the farmers were per-
permitted to enter with their wagons,
about twenty could be acconfmodat
Alderman Hall said that he believed
it was necessary to provide shch a
place for the farmers, as. the automo.
biles were crowding the rigs off the
streets and farmers were complaining
about the lack Of parking room and
saying that Little Falls was not doing
enough for them in this respect. The
matter was finally left to the street
committee and the mayor, with power
to act, and they were instructed to get
lease on the property for one or more
years, if possible. s@ ss g.
