THE DOG (GONE) SITUATION

dog Caldwell has reached an alarming
state according Mayor Homer Johnson members of
the council and at long last something going be done
about it.
At the beginning, be remembered that the dog
situation first last and always under the jurisdiction
of the Noble County commissioners but far Caldwell
is concerned, absolutely nothing has been DONE
Mayor Johnson and members of the council contacted
Solicitor L. c. Young this week and it is believed that
luton has been found that should prove than adequate
Under the present law, any appointment the council
would make deputy dog warden would have to be ap
proved by the county commissioners.
But the council took dim view of this so Solicitor
Young has suggested that ordinance be passed by the
village of Caldwell creating their dog warden and he
will come under their jurisdiction and no one else
Night watchman Willis Ralph has also been contacted
and is believed that he will these additional duties
with small increase in salary.
The council proposes to their property on the old
mine north of Caldwell and the small portion will be
fenced off and used for the city pound.
If any dogs observed running loose in Caldwell
only, with without tag they will be picked up mmed-
at the mine site.
The ordinance will read to the effect that they will be
kept there for three days only After that time the neg
lgent owner has not claimed them they will be shot or
otherwise destroyed.
This plan is the most logical one which has been ad-
vanced to date and at special meeting of the council week
ago, all members indicated they in favor of it.
1t is expected that at the next regular or special meet
draw up the ordinance it will be published the required
legal length of time and then become effective with the
appointment of dog warden for the village of Caldwell
only
this way the county will their dog warden and
headaches and Caldwell will have theirs
For several years now residents have been complaining
practically every day to the city county officials but
definite action taken other than the usual warnings
and perhaps the picking up of two loose dogs
But the ordinance will have teeth in it and Solicitor
Young assured the and council that would work
and could be enforced.
This should be welcome news to property owners ir
Caldwell, who have long wished for such action
1t also speaks highly of Mayor Johnson and members
of his council who have all times, the welfare Of the
people in this community at heart
They interested in all your problems and it has
been very evident that they will follow up with action
when ever they hit upon the right plan.
Mayor Johnson will be unopposed this fall for his office
and this should be for good term deserves another
This also applies to members of the wide-awake
Gil, who seeking another term.
