to be a complete realization of all the
pleasures planned and expected and
the return of Messrs. Bond and Wat
son is not looked for before Septem
ber first. This absence of Mr. Watson
necessitated the election of another
member to the new Front Street Im
provement board, that the work
might not be delayed, but like nearly
all of the other property owners of
the district, he is thoroughly in accord
with the movement and it was his
own desire that some one else was
elected to his place, so Uiat the pre
liminaries might be pushed through
with all possible speed and not be re
tarded by his absence from the city.

OBJECTIONS URGED
TO PUBLIC HANGINGS.
Doubtless in every city of the land,
provision is made for the killing of
surplus dogs, else our towns would be
come dog-ridden just as the ruined
sections of Rome are now infested
with dogs ravenous as wolves and
oftentimes as dangerous.
But a protest is being offered
against the employment of cruel
methods of ending the lives of these
dumb animals.
For the past two days, the marshal
has been hanging these dogs beneath
the stairway of the city hall in plain
public view from Walnut Street.
This death by strangulation is neither
a speedy nor humane method of kill
ing the dogs and it is this
against which the public doth pro
test. This duty of ridding
the town of these ownerless dogs is no
doubt a distasteful and disagreeable
one to any officer, but a humane man
ner of death is due even the outcast
-O'
Ordinance No. 12, dealing with this
issue, defines the duty of the marshal
to be tu cause all dogs found running
at large from June 1 to October 31
upon the streets and alleys of New
port (for which license has not been
paid) to be impounded. Within two
days thereafter notices must be posted
in three different places within the
city limits, bearing description of dog
impounded, the date of the impound
ing aud notice that the said dog will
be killed at the expiration of five days
from date of notice. The ordinance
further provides for the reclaiming of
dogs and the fees to be charged. But
all this seems unessential and the
protest which is beiug made arises
solely on the manner in which these
dogs have been put to death.
