years was found dead on a neighbors porch one day last week apparently poisoned and on friday last i found the pet cat belonging to the neighbour behind us on durham street in our garage apparently also having died of poi soning as well as this i under stand that one of the durham st residents lost a dog through the same cause and an albert street dog was very sick for some days but as of now seems to have over come the problem i notified the police of this mat ter but would also appreciate your giving the situation some publicity with a view to avoiding further suffering in the area thank
