A brief treatise on the dog prob
lem. Mr.. Fidt has received so many
complaints Of barking, bowling, biting
and otherwise obstreperous CANNES
that he was compelled to consult au-
thorities.
Capt. Herbert Fletcher Informed
him how to cope with the problem
in answer to the following COM
plants:
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: Speaking Of
dogs-is there any action that can
be taken to eliminate a nuisance
caused by neighbours dog?
They. keep this poodle tied in the
side yard all day, and put him out
about $50 a m. From that time on
it is aImc a continual barking.
I do not believe it is fair to let
this dog spoil what was, before he
came, a quiet place to live.
A SUFFERER.
DEAR MR.. FTXIT; Please can
anything be done to quiet the dogs
that are kept at dog and cat hos
pital near here. The bowling and
barking at night and all day long is
awful. We neighbors cannot rest
neither day nor night.
WE WHO KNOW.
Captain Fletcher told Mr.. F1Ht
there are three city ordinances that
prohibit harboring barking, howl
ing and vicious dogs. You have
only to go to the police station and
swear out a warrant charging the
dog owners with one of these three
offenses to obtain relief.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: VIII you
please see that there is stop put
to drivers and employees Of a bakery
throwing away old stale doughnuts
and pies In the street? The little
children playing pick them up and
eat them.
NEIGHBORS.
An inspector will have arrived at
the location you mention from
the board of health office before
you read this.
DEAR MR.. FIX1T; While we are
celebrating Greater Indianapolis, it
occurs to me it would be advisable
for the street cleaning department
to sweep two or three inches of dust
and dirt up on College Ave. at
Twenty Eighth st. For some time the
city has been hauling dirt to Nil
in for the boulevard on the south
side of the creek between Central
Ave. and College. In all this time
the street cleaning department has
not swept the street and consequent
w the entire neighborhood is living
in a continual cloud of dust.

While excavation for the new
church at Broadway and Twenty
Ninth SITS. is in progress this Will
continue, Mr.. Fixit was informed.
The street cleaning department,
however, will have the situation
in hand within two weeks.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: I am living
on Twenty Eighth ST. on the corner
of the alley that runs past my
house within twelve feet Of my
dining room. The general traffic has
worked the mud and water UP to
make a bad odor.
w. r. ENNIS,
y 1915 W. Twenty.Eighth st.
An investigation will be started
at once, Thomas z. Newson, as
sistaht street comm ssioner
promised Mr.. Fixit.
DEAR MR.. FIXIT: The street in
front of our residence at 25 E.
Regent st. needs grading. Also, be-
yond us as it is lower in front of
our house and all the water stands
in the ditch in front Of us,
GALE MILLER.
% E. Regent st.
This thoroughfare was graded In
May, Newson told MIR. Fixit, and
it will be impossible with present
limited staff, to grade it again.
Petition for permanent improve
ment is the only satisfactory way
to correct the condition, he said
