of rabies has prompted me to write to you and express my concern I congratulate you on your recent letter to the residents but the letter docs not go far enough The letter states dog owners should keep their animals under control This Is not satisfactory to the residents Under the bylaw dog owners must keep their animals under control at all times The letter might have given the name and telephone number of the dog control officer Dog control has been a problem in for many years In an advertisement placed In the bulletin by the village trustees it was stated owing to the many complaints received the dog control bylaw will be strictly enforced ThlswasinlQ52 It seema to me wo pay only lip service to our bylaws Action Is better than words We cannot allow the running at large of dogs in the village Surely the recent cases of rablesandthe harm to our young people at school will impress on the authorities that dogs MUST be kept under control at a 11 times A newspaper recently reported that in a neighboring police village dog owners who do not abide by he by law will pay higher fees if their dogs are impounded First pickup will cost 15 second pick up and third Daily pound fees will bo Also the village pays per month for eight patrols I urge the village trustees and council to take definite steps to prevent dogs running at large in the village Our children and indeed all of us deserve this protection If and when the dog control officer is given instructions trustees and council members should without fear or favor back up the actions of the control officer one hundred per cent The control officer should be instructed to make periodic patrols of the village I am sending a copy of this letter to the press so lhat the public may know of my concern
