; mhmuwnd.l‘m ing to report week conâ€" ductor of this column thought it would probably not be far amiss to touch a little on the city administraâ€" tion‘s plan of activities other than the incinerator and the fire station. ‘These two projects, particularly the incinerator because of its controverâ€" sial angles, have been so much in the minds of the citizens of the comâ€" munity that matters of equal or even greater importance have more or less escaped the public eye. Your reporter has been as guilty as anyâ€" one in sideâ€"tracking publicity on some of these other community problems and his only defense is that this column is written to register the reaction of public opinion on probâ€" lems in which it is most interested. Attendance figures at council meetâ€" ings clearly show that the incineraâ€" tor tops all other subjects as a magâ€" net in drawing members of the comâ€" munity to the City Hall on Monday evenings. The resignation of former City of Police Moroniey packed them for the new incinerator, particularly when the rumor goes out that the council is going to make a definite decision on its location. in for one or two sessions but nothâ€" ing has had as consistent drawing power as the discussion of the site scheduled for solution on next Monâ€" day evening the city fathers can deâ€" vote their time and energies to some of the other urgent needs of the that must be solved in one way or another if the city is to continue to enjoy a prosperous growth. It apâ€" pears rather paradoxical that a city in which so many of its citizens are in the high income brackets could be so handicapped by the lack of adequate funds to carry on efficiently even its most routine affairs. Thus, the question of where to get some much needed money is about due to get some very serious attenâ€" tion once the council disposes of the incinerator and ifire station projects. One source of funds which as yet has remained practically untapped is the thousands of dollars due the various local taxing bodies in delinâ€" quent taxes and penalties on both improved and unimproved property in this city. Last fall under the chairmanship of Co mmissioner Sharp, representatives of the area‘s various taxing bodies met with the council to work out some sort of a feasible tax collection program. Beâ€" cause of the apparent unwillingness on the part of some of the taxing bodies to come to an equitable agreement in sharing the necessary expenses attendant with the collecâ€" tion work nothing worth while was accomplished. However, in a recefit interview with Commissioner Sharp he emphatically stated that the matâ€" ter was going to be allowed to lie untouched for lack of initiative at least as far as the city was concernâ€" ed. While no definite program has as yet been agreed upon the counâ€" cil plans to lose no time in directâ€" ing their efforts toward arriving at a uu-fubzulm:ln to this problem.

No boy has grown up without having the affectionate memory of at least one dog and there is not the slightâ€" est doubt that dogs have earned a valuable place in our lives because of their intelligence, affection and protection. low degree who are equally as snooty as their betters. We have a serious dog problem in Highland Park. The Mayor is in constant receipt of leters and phone calls from exasperated citizens comâ€" plaining of the damage to their lawns and gardens from dogs on the loose, and above all, we have a danâ€" gerous situation from dog bites, which last is constantly recurring. Here in Highland Park we have a lot of dogs, some so small they could be hidden in an overcoat pockâ€" et and they graduate up to the size of a mountain lion, all of various breeds, shapes and colors. In addiâ€" tion, we have battalions of dogs of When a dog has been used to ramâ€" bling. it is tough on the dog to keep him chained up or confined to the home, or on a leash when taken for a walk, but that is what we must do if we are good citizens with reâ€" gard for the peace and safety of our neighbors. As all who read must know, there have been many cases of rabies in Waukegan, North Chicago, Wilmette and one case in Lake Forest, all within the last few months. In the last stage of one phase of rabies, dogs tun blindly for long distances snapping at all in their way. In consequence, we must guard against the contagion spreading here and dogs kept at home are less diable to contract the disease and pass it on to others belonging to their neighâ€" I am informed that we had a cas of dog rabies near the county line in Highland Park in April last. The dog was taken to an Evanston vetâ€" erinary hospital and the disease identified there. All evidence proves that the inocluation of dogs against contagion has been quite effective in very materially checking the spread of the disease and every owner of a vaccinated dog must surely have a contented feeling of security so far as his dog isâ€"concerned. We have ordinance in Highland Park which requires a license of $5 per year for a female dog and $3 for a male. The license falls due on June 1st each year, and runs from July 1st to June 30th, the following year. We also have an ordinance which insists that dogs must be kept from running at largeâ€"licensâ€" ed or unlicensed. The pound charges on an unlicensed dog is $5 a day in addition to paying for a license and the penalty to the owners for all dogs found running at large is $5 to $10 for each offense. Unâ€" are asphyxiated. A dog license is not imposed with the idea of increasing our city‘s revâ€" enue. It is imposed for the purpose of knowing who owns a dog and for the further purpose of keeping the dog population down to a livable environment for our citizens. Threeâ€" quarters of the dog license income is added to the Policemen‘s Pension Storm," the $5 to $10 for each offense. Unâ€" elaimed dogs are kept in the pound for four days. Thereafter some are Fund. This should be an incentive on the policemen‘s part to see that nllthoennimpozl:dmmmp- erly registered, our city has a large area. We have a small police force and many a dog escapes being listed for that reason. Because of the ever present danâ€" ger and the constant, almost daily complaints about our dog felonies, the Mayor feels constrained to apâ€" peal to our citizens to obey our city ordinances by applying for their licenses at the City Hall and keep their dogs under control at home M.MMM'I\.:: essary to employ a regular eatcher and make it a real instito tion in our city affairs.
