REMOVE SNOW FROM ROADS

Instructions were sent out by the
state highway commission to all
county highway commissioners re-
garding the removal of snow from
state trunk lines.
j. T. Donaghey, maintenance engi-
neer of the department, warns that
the time is now being approached
when the snow drifts will thaw and
suggests that road conditions be
closely watched by patrolmen and the
removal of drifts from the road be
undertaken without delay. Money will
be spent, Mr.. Donaghey states, to
remove snow from the roads just as
soon as it softens up to point where
it can be pushed out by the use of a
grader.
The removal Of snow is declared a
legitimate charge against mainte-
nance funds and acquisitions will be
honored by the commission.

DIDN'T HEED WARNING


We feel pretty miserable over the
fact that our article last week con-
corning the electrocution of Frank
Anderson's dog "Jack" failed in its
sole mission-to warn dogs of the
swift and dire penalty Of misbehav-
Tor within our city limits.
Every dog had had an opportunity
to peruse that article, and to have
spread the word throughout canine
dom. There was absolutely no ex-
cuse for ignorance of the law.
Yet, scarcely a whole day after the
paper was in the mail, another lead
ing citizen of the local kennels had
committed an offense for which the
extreme penalty is imposed; and it
was imposed right pronto, too, let us
pause to remark.
Twenty-three hundred volts of 100
proof "juice" from the electric plant
rushed hurriedly through the big col
lie belonging to Mrs. Cora Waldron
Saturday afternoon, and the execut-
ioner at the City Hall basement
''chair" added another notch to the
already large score. The dog, I'M
provoked, had, a few minutes before,
bitten little boy. The crime was
witnessed by several people, and the
collie was taken to the electrocuting
room where justice was speedily ad-
ministefed.
The "court proceedings are very
simple, and not at all hampered by
red tape-they consist chiefly of try
ing to get the dog into the harness,
and then trying to find place to
bury him.
Don't fail to speak to your dog
about this.
