What is the reason"? .. . Ai’e" they afraid of offending their supporters who keep little poodles or is it an bVer- , sight ? There are three huhiJr&i’ pounds outstanding alone in dog tkx yet we hear them preaching economy. You will often read in tire papers of the Council discussing rates owing by a poor ratepayer, yet six hundred dogs are allowed to wander about ofir streets, thieving meat and killiiig sheep, lambs, fowls, cats, etc.,- And not paying a penny to the revehiie of the up-keep of our Borough. * You will agree with me, Sir, that. 1 have just cause for complaint.
