Bells, Tied On Cats,
May Save Lives
OF SQUIRRELS

MERCHANTSVILLE, N. j.,
June 25.-Merchantville cats
must wear bells. Such is the
new edict here, to be enforced
for the sake of birds and
squirrels.
Sentiment is divided as to
what should be done with the
unbelIed cats. Friends Of the
squirrels, which are the de-
scendants of several brought
here year ago by the late
j. j. Burleigh, vice president
of the public service corpora
ton, and of the birds declare
killing is too good for such
cats. Cats are being poisoned
almost daily. A law passed by
the last legislature gave permits
sion to any person to kill cats
known to kill birds, and did not
define the means to be used.
Cat lovers, led by Mrs.
Harry Beatty, president of the
Keystone Club, are angry at
the numerous deaths. They
appealed to Chief of Police
Linderman, who says he is
powerless to deal with those
who kill cats they can prove
