The essence of the whole matter was the clause which states that dogs must be ued up irom May Ist to August 2Uth. li the law is not observed dogs will be kept at the pound for three days during which uume the owner may re-possess the dog--$1.U0 for the first day and $2.00 for every additional day, tailure to pick the canine up after three days will result in destruction. in the case of t second offence, the dog will be taken to the pound and de- stroyed, Previous to passing the amendment it was apparent that neither the Mayor or Councillors Camsell and Poppleton were Satisfied that the amendment was the answer. How ever( they made it clear that when the trou- ule first_arose, they were of the opinion that an amendment such as Councillor ~ Mosher's and Councillor Gardner's was neces- sary. In the past few months, they had realized that the com- plaints were still pouring in. Mr. Day observed that "if the by-law is amended and a dog is an infernal nuisance in the winter months when he is allow- ed run at large, then we have no ground to stand on." R. Pop- pleton said "A dog should al- always under someone's control The owner should at least know where the dog is. Should it be allowed to' tear everything to pieces?' "Frankly" he Said, <I don't know where we should begin or end. The last time our dogs ended up in the papers in England." Mayor Day said he thought the answer lay in the observation of a gentleman who stated that "a dog can be trained under one Sondimon sltethe= man. alco we more than the dog." Councillor Mosher offered to leave his pro- posals for the incoming Council since €veryone seemed to be against it but Councillor Cam sell caught him up with "You said no unfinished business to- night" and finally when all was said and done with Councillor Camsell defending a good dog as protection for children, and as watch dogs and Councillor Mosh- er expressing the view that by next, fall, all tramp dogs would be disposed of fast under the ne regulations, passed.
