DOGS AND TITIRANGI.
As a resident of Titirangi I confirm tlie damage done in "the district (by uncontrolled dogs. Fortunately we have no cat for neighbours' dogs to destroy, hut my wife and I endeavour to find recreation in our garden and grow a few vegetables and flowers for our modest needs. It is not very encouraging when one finds that plants raised at some expense have been damaged and in many eases ruined 'by neighbours' dogs. It is quito a common sight when one visits the local post office to see sis to eiglit dogs, most of them mongrels and collar' less. Surely tlie riding representative must realise that wo ratepayers are being twice penalised hv damage to our gardens and the loss of registration fees. There is an old saying, nevertheless true, a lifo for a life, and I suggest that if the dog owners cannot keep their animals, under control, we take other means and rid the district of this menace.
