lar meeting of council When theres a dog killed on the highway what should be done Who should contact whom regarding its removal and the tracing of the ownership and the assumption of the responsibility in the accident Local observers immediate re action was that the driver of the vehicle that struck the animal should attend to the matter im mediately Many an animal life could be saved if it were rushed to the vets But when the case is one of a hitandrun driver who then is to assume the responsibility of moving the animal Such a pre dicament faced local citizens on a recent Saturday

the call and took car of the situation At council it was pointed out I that since the animal was dead it would not be the concern of the Humane society to attend to it Joseph Dales added that since a dead dog on the Main St might constitute a traffic haz ard it could be considered as a police matter Another matter had been solv ed by council In this bureau cratic age the proper authority must be
