Some 30 days hence, life will be-
come more burdensome for dog own
ers, and perhaps for the dogs them
selves, if police or the poundmaster
are able to enforce new rules of
conduct prescribed for them by the
District Commissioners.
Answering the pleas of District
residents who have complained many
times in the past year their prop
erty was being damaged by dogs,
the city heads ruled, among other
things:
mo dog shall be permitted to run
or 60 on private property without
the consent of the owner or occupant
thereof"
Admittedly it will be quite task
for the dog owners. the poundmaster
or the police, for the Commissioners
were advised there are some 10000
dogs abiding-and sometimes run
ming at large-in this jurisdiction,
and it is estimated no less than
10000 of these are unlicensed.
Other Animals Affected.
For good measure the Commits
sioners adopted something ap-
preaching the nature of a "jaywalk-

highways, and also threw in new
prescriptions against the keeping of

tured wild animals" as q bear, mon
