Mayor Orders
Dogs Muzzled
Animals Loose on Streets
Must Wear Masks or
Be on Leash.
Appoints Dog Catcher
CANNES Without Muzzles or
License to Be Picked Up
by New Official-RuIing
to Be Enforced.

Action to protect residents of
the city from dogs which are run
ming loose in the streets has been
taken by Mayor Charles E. Jack
son, who yesterday announced
that a dog catcher has been ap-
pointed, and will go on duty next
week.
At the same time the Mayor
warned city residents that all
dogs on the streets must be muz-
zled during the warm weather.
Whether the dogs are registered
with the city clerk or not makes
no difference, the Mayor said.
The Mayor took steps to appoint
dog catcher, and require all
dogs, unless on a leash, to wear
muzzles, to prevent any further
attacks on children and grown up
persons from dogs. Within the
last week three people have been
bitten.
The dog which early in the
week bit Ralph Sanders and DR.
Charles H. { Conover, has been
found by professors at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania to have
definite signs of rabies. The Uni
versity professors examined the
dogs head, which was sent them
Immediately after it had bitten
the two local men.

in fighting fire were pointed out

read by Mr.. Armstrong, of the
value of the assistance of the Al
lantic City and Mays Landing
companies, when the Liberty
Glass Factory at Egg Harbor
caught fire recently. Both these
companies responded to the call
for help sent out by the Egg Har-
Dor company, and were on hand
in time enough to save property
and prevent the further spread of
the fire.

there, it was pointed out, could be
utilized to control any fire that
might break out in the county
