In • view of the disregard by the general pub-
lic of the recent proclainaion issued by the
Town Council, re the confinement of dogs,
and the fact that they are not to run at large
at any. time, the Council' feels that charges
must be laid under this By-law.
Any owner or 'harbourer of a
clog who allows it to run at
large can be summoned into
Court. The fine in a case of this
- kind could be $50.00 and costs.
The Council and Myself would ask all citi,
• zens concerned to comply with the laws and
avoid tlie- consequences. °
