STRAY CATS T0LIVE
GAS SCARCE, COSTLY

The complaint received by City
Council Thursday night relative to
the stray cat nuisance in the west
end OF the Ninth ward. has been for
warded TO the S. p. G. A, but that
association has no funds for dealing
with the situation and the cats will
probably continue their nocturnal
serenades.
Officials say the only remedy
seems TO be the capture of the cats
by the dog catcher and kill them as
stray dogs are killed by charcoa
fumes, but as II requires about three
times as much gas to kill a cat as 4
requires to asphyxiate a dog, the so
ciety will hardly take any furthei
action in the matter unless Cit,
Council sees At 10 make special ap-
preparation for that purpose.
