H. Smith ................... ,....,$270.00 New Rochelle Pioneer ............ 325.00 Mr. Smith’s bid being the lowest the work was awarded to him. • r Dog Ordinance Should be Enforced. It is about time tbe authorities took cognizance; of the dog ordinance. The daily appearance of numbers of crtpines on our streets are a menace tojevery citizen. There are altogether too many of these “ nnits” allowed at large, without being muzzled or at tached to a leash. The experience of -several ladies, on Main street Mon day afternoon, whereby a loose “mut” sprang at their little ones, scratching the little lad. and scaring the other children and' their parents exceedingly, should not be' allowed to be repeated. The actions of the two women with the dog, was to say the least, most contemptible. The, dog and- its owners are known, and should the beast ever appear again where it catl be safely shot such will be its just deserts. The flimsy- excuse “he’s only a puppy; he won’t ’hurt you,\ was a most insane ope, rylienall the facts relating to the occurran.ce is con sidered. It reminds 11s of the - bid adage that you‘should- ‘‘lock the barn door after the horse is stolen.” HAVE YOU FAVORED US WITH A CALL? IF YOU HAVE, AND WE HAVE PLEASED YOU, TELL OTHERS.
