IF board of county commission

Vienna Supports

Vienna, June 16.-(By the A.P)--
From a census which has just been
taken in Vienna it appears that the
citv has. $4,000 dogs or twice as
many as in peace time. At first sight
IL would seem remarkable that SO
many people in this poverty-ridden
city should be keeping dogs.
One of the principal reasons is the
increase in the number of burglar
les and thefts, which has led many
households to keep dogs for protec-
tion. Watchmen with police dogs
are employed to guard the great
Central Cemetery from which num-
her Of bodies have been stolen.
