The dog muzzling ordinance is
not a popular one with the dogs or
their owners. The muzzling grows

in the early summer, a committee
was appointed to take the question
of heating the school building
into consideration, the present
heaters being about used up. Sc
far as is known, the committee has
not done anything in the direction
that thtey were instructed in, and
we are now entering upon weather
suggestive of fires. Doesn't the
