We have by far' too many dogs about the Town, and while it frnay not be so eicacious a remedy as cutting off their tails behind their cars, a stiff increase in the license, any $3 for males and $5 for females, would come pretty near solving the Vcxed problem of how to reduce the canine population. Other towns have resorted to this plan with consider- able success. Let s make a start in it-Barrie and raise the limit. A little aldermanic back-bone is all that s pccessary, and the thing can be done. i2ii;nax1.Vi\v;.g.. , `address, fan 1 In in 43-` '*L HQLLY. EADY.

There _still re- mains with us the -nucleus of a good band organization, but it needs en- couragement, and only the prompt 5 and adequate support of those in authority can save the situation and prevent us losing altogether the last remnant of our talent ere it be -too .,late. The people of Barrie are - a music-loving people, and have al- ways shown an .ardent devotion to purely home enterprise`.- We may be` sure, therefore; that they will. loyally back the Council in an_y rrea'- sonable action to assistin restofrinq the Band and in placing it once more on a comfortable nancial footing. It is a great personal` sacrice -on_the_ part of the bandsmen to maintain an efficient organization, and thesmall grant asked for should be ,ungrudg- ingly given.
