to put up with my neighbors'
dogs running all over my yard
and destroying shrubs, in some
cases valuable ones. Owners of
male dogs should be made as
responsible for them as owners
of female dogs.
In regard to fish, fowl and
bees, I do not see how Mr..
Thomas can include these in his
prohibition. Besides my dog I
have pet hen, a pet I've had
more than five years. Some
neighbors in my block do not
even know that I have such a
pet. She never cackles or makes
any fuss whatsoever.
If Mr.. Thomas would apply
his time more to checking up
on some of these holdups in

graft, he would be doing much
greater service to the city. Such
petty matters as fish, fowl or

But what this silly little man

that no man can possibly attack
religion.
It has been tried for centuries
