august 12th 1957 dear mr editor it would appear that someone in the albert street durham street area is knowingly or unknowingly disposing of some of our pets our pet cat which we have had for some 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
