Harry P. Wender, president of the

Commissioners and Congress. He
spoke at meeting of the George
town Citizens Association.
In 1900, Mr.. Wender said, the

in 1889 there was still only one
wagon despite the tremendous in
crease in population.
The District is losing about $780,
900 a year through its failure to
superintend dog licensing adequate

The present campaign against
rabid dogs, he said, could have been
averted if the Commissioners had
listened to the appeals of the citizens
associations, which have been cam
paigning for the last eight years for
larger budget for the dog pound.
The associations also have asked for
laws which permit unmuzzled dogs
to be. picked up even though they
are licensed. Until the campaign
