Practically all of thefco''1
led complaints are due to the
neglect and carelessness Of the
dog owner. What wonld be the
attitude ot these eame owner, and
others If aheep or hogs were permitted to ran uncontrolled on
their property or on streets aod
pablic highways?
"Pennsylvania dog laws in the
past bave been drawn with tbe
thought of legislating too drastically against tbe dog or the
owner. The present Dog Law
cannot be considered drastic but
continued abase of the laxity ot
tbis law by dog owner msy result
in e demand for more legislation*
Dog owner, from tbe standpoint
of the rights ot protecion ot
others, tor tbeir own protection,
end last bat not least tbe protection and welfare of the dog should
give more thought and attention
to the control of their  dog."

—Tis better to belong  to tbe
middle class then to the meddle
eteefed at a point nearer thsn 60
feet from the center of the prassat
road in its general coarse nor
from the center ot the proposed
boulevard.
Tbe moving of the buildings
now situated oo the right of way
Is not demsnded oa tbe documents
placed on file wbioh leads to the
belief that the road will not be
built for some time in tbe future.
Whenever the start is made, tbe.
buildings must be rased or moved,
snd if sooh a procedure is taken
tho oouaty will pay the costs.
It is proposed by tbe new plana
to erect a more adequate bridge
at Grazierville. Tbe present
bridge is a narrow iron structure
which carries odth traction end
motor traffic over the main Hoes
ot tbe Pennsylvania Railroad
company. The new bridge would
oarry tbe trafic in a more direct
route, snd would therefore require a longer end wider passageway. It was not mentioned wbo
shall pay for the proposed bridge,
bat it it probable tbat tbe publie
service commission, working in
bormony with the state, coanty
end tbe two corporations in
volvod Would decree the cost.

shop, with lights extending accr-
o«a the building, making a glorious illumination where once wee
dismal darkness and installed
therein all the latest hirsute appliances end an expert operator. A
private waiting room for the lady
patrons haa beea fitted up—4b
