DOUGLAS COUNCIL ORDERS DOG LICENSE ENFORCEMENT | Pressure is soon to be put on own. ers of dogs (unlicensed) to enforce payment of the necessary fee re- | quired by city ordinance if they are | to exist in Douglas and have peps | mission to roam at large as the | result of last night's meeting of the City Council, according to Clerk i | W. Kilburn. 3 | The ordinance prescribes the fes | and penalty for non-payment there- of, Kilburn reported, and burdened with the duty of enforcing the law . he hopes to be able to have the mat- ter taken care of as his oath eof | office requires. To permit just one | dog owner immunity from the pen- | alty of non-compliance with the dog | license ordinance would nullify the i provisions of the law which applies |to each and everyone alike, and would make him a party to its de- | feat, he feels. Due to the restricted supply of piling and timbers needed to repair the city dock and proceed with plans negotiated by the Council and can» ‘nery official at the last meeting, | that proposition was declared off for the present. Only needed re- pairs for the seasons operations cai | be undertaken™ | Considerable discussion around | the Council table centered on the | question of fire protection by sf |- | pipes, one near the oil house om | wharf and another at Pifth and F Streets . That project was left for | later attention. —————— e o & 0 0 0 0 0 0 WEATHER REPORT (U. 8.
