| Show A NUISANCE TO BE ABATED THE complaint of an old citizen to which we give place today is a very common one there are too many dogs in town the tax remedy does not moot meet the disorder it is no comfort to a person assailed by a ferocious or vociferous canine that he has a numbered collar on dogs bound over fences or jump up from the sidewalk side walk and act as though they would eat up the passer by in the day time they bits bite at the heads of honee causing runaways or at least frightening women and ohi children kiren who are taking a buggy ride after dark they start atari up from unexpected places and bark at pedestrians and in many places make night hideous and sloop impossible by their discordant howlings bow lings we do not know what the civic authorities can do more than continue to enforce the city ordinance in relation to dogs unless some more stringent measures can be devised to protect the but respectable citizens can show a little more regard for the comfort of their neighbors and the public generally by getting rid of some useless our curd that infest the city and by housing and chaining up more valuable dogs doge at nig night ht it will be a matter of regret if the public have to take the matter into their own hands and shoot down the howling and yelping dogs that form such auch a formidable nuisance this would be perhaps in violation of a city chiv ordinance and would be therefore to be deplored if duty to neighbors had a little more influence upon the public mind this and many other grievances ancee might be removed without requiring anyone to make a very great sacrifice |
