ULARLY UPON SUBMISSION
OF MONTHLY STATEMENTS


Charles Wardlow announced 20
the city commission last night
that there will be ''cat traps"
which the Humane Society will
procure to be set out in the city.
Cats have been a nuisance in
the past and it is though that
this will be an effective way of
reducing the population.
Primary purpose of the Society
is to protect animals but at pres
ent due to the large number of
stray and unwanted animals
there is at present and will con-
tinue to be disposals via the gas
chamber in the Poinciana area.
Mr.. Wardlow asked for the re-
mainder of the money due the
Society and was assured by City
Manager King that if monthly
statements were submitted the
amount which has been allocated
by the city would be given each
month.
