DR. THACKER AND ANIMALS.
HORSES, CATS AND DOGS. BANISHMENT FROM CITY. “I intend asking the City Council,” said the Mayor of Christchurch, Dr. H. T. -J. Thacker, “to give the city surveyor, Mr. C. Dawe, three months’ leave of absence so that he can accompany me to the United States and gain information as to the latest methods of dealing with control of street traffic and with street cleaning, and regarding other civic activities and services. “The horse will have to go out of the city. Horsee in the city are responsible for two-thirds of the cleaning up that is necessary. All horses should be kept out of the central ward; also, all dogs and cats. “Every eat and dog in the city where there is a vegetable garden is a menace to the health of the people who own them, because they are sure carriers of infectious diseases, smallpox, plague, and hydatids. Quite a number of the opera tions being performed at present are for hydatids, and many of those operated on are young people, and this is on account of pet cats and dogs.”
