My letter, however, does not eoncera either politics or water wells. It is a plea to the misguided and probably well meaning dog and cat owner who wouldn't hurt an animal for the world It never enters their minds to take the latest litter to the vet and have them 'disposed of neroifully Not only Is this unheard of, it costs No, these 'Kind hearted" people take the pups and kitten money end dump them at the nearest trailer park to freeze or starve to death. They assume that surely ont of the trailer dwellers will take them in. It does not ooour to them that these people probably already have pets if. they want them I think this is perhaps the oruelest way of disposing of unwanted animals there is just let them starve to death 11 There is a solution If you don't want pups or kittens take your female to the vet and for a nominal charge you wont have to worry about it any longer If you already have to many under foot, a want ad doesn't cost sueh and Christmas is oomlng .If Dear to Editor, Sinoe you Counoil 10-7-- 20, eontraoted, the contractor would have been paid absolutely nothing for the well.

If the City Officials oan Justify. expenditures sueh as this then it would be easier to Justify the City going lntc the contracting and construction business, or into the bulk oil and gas business where there is a continuing need of the servloes. Above other things the drilling rig put the taxpayers into a oapltal investment in exoess of $10,000 and it is very doubtful they oan recover more than half that , unless the City goes into the financing business Mary of us also took issue with the bond issue several months ago.
