The bond election is to be held as soon as possible though the delay while they looked into forming a recreation district may keep it from being held with the general election. The animal control ordinance ord-inance is just about as tough as is possible and still allow pets within the city limits. It requires that dogs be confined con-fined either inside your home, car, fenced, chained or on a leash. They will be 'considered out of control even if laying on your front porch or playing in an un-fenced un-fenced yard. The law provides for fines of $25.00 for the first offense, of-fense, $50.00 for the second offense and $100.00 for the third offense. Both cats and dogs must be licensed and vaccinated, though cats were excluded from the control law. " ' t I . J V' J ' ' :: : - . I t'J Jl'J i f 4 ;,' - - A f . f , . .
