water ser vice to anyone violating this use of hose must stop immediately in case of a fire during the hour moved by herbert and hu1 cr herbert said that the water situation was bad at present the pumps arc going all day transfer ring water from the lower to the upper reservoir and unless confer- vation is practiced enough water cannot be supplied appointed john bull as dog cat ehcjv- moved by davidson and arm strong clarence spence told council that his dog which hod been loose only about an hour had been das- troycdrost week by tho police on information placed by mr bull and wanted to know why this had bcendone without consulting him mcnnlly what right had john bull to do this gibbons we dont want to get confused in this matter regardless of the method used the byjaw is there if mr spence claimed his dog was wrongly destroyed he would have a damage action we have a bylaw and are sandwiched in between the people who keep their dogs tied and others who dont a people are constantly phon ing in complaints and council is in the position that we have to cither enforce the bylaw or repeal it the police have the authority to destroy a dog without a tag regard less of who gathers up the dog davidson it is very unfortu nate that this cropped up at this time at the last meeting we deci ded to hire a dog catcher before we advertised mr bull approached the mayor and myself and i told him he could have the job but it wouldnt start until the public was notified of the appointment and the regulations gibbons i suggest that when the appointment is made that he be instructed in his duties goodlet has the position been advertised are there any other applications davidson i had the advertise ment prepared but when a man was found i didnt think it was neces sary gibbons the police say they cant enforce the bylaw without a dog catcher spence then they had no right to catch my dog hill i dont think the dog should have been shot on sight gibbons we must stick to the motion there will be plenty of time for discussion afterwards the motion was then passed and harvey lusty who also appeared at the meeting asked if he might speak lusty if this had been adver tised i might have been interested bu myself this dog was a childs pet a dog catcher should be the same os a policeman and at least give a warning before taking action my dog broke loose the other night and is worth 100 could he be picked up and destroyed on this mans say so gibbons our regulations avoid this he would be kept in the pound and you could claim him morc thj it there lsn l f building and is not ser-

property 300 for glads which might be destroyed and bulldozing a driveway and levell ing a portion of his other property which i estimate might cost 300 herbert i dont sec why we should have co improve his proper ty mcnally he could put a 1000 value on this piece and do his own davidson he claims that by takng this 75 feet he would have to find more land for glads and bulldozing would be
