The dog, ten years old, was
playing with the children, she
added, when the dog catchei
came along and took it. One of
the boys pleaded with him not to
take it away, but to no avail, she
paid. The children were broken
hearted until she redeemed their
pet, she said,
"Other children advised us,"
she continued, "It would be better

The matter came up as a result

gardens by dogs, with the county
Board of Assessors.
Mayor Flint pointed out that
government authorities had stated
that there was likely to be a
shortage of food this winter so
many farm workers had been
drafted, and urged people to grow
Victory gardens. Dogs tramp and
mil on these gardens doing great,
damage to them, he added. While
be expressed sympathy with dog
owners, he asserted it was a time
when they should pay a little
more attention to their animals.
"Under the circumstances I think
it Is the duty of people to take
care of their pets," he concluded.
A .proposal to reduce the $4,-

permit certain animals to roam

dogs. Mayor Clinton M.
Flint said this was unnecessary
a Ordinance 28 already covered
the situation.
It provides that "no person
shall allow any dog to run at
large in any street, sidewalk, lane
or public place In the Village of
Freeport without being properly
muzzled or under the immediate
charge of and led by its owner
or custodian." Violation of the
ordinance constitutes disorderly

placed on the calendar because
he had heard criticisms that the
Judge was being paid more than
men holding similar offices in
other villages approximating the
size of Freeport.
It was voted to invite Judge
Johnson to appear before the
Board at a subsequent meeting jn
regard to the matter.
On application of Alvln C.
Southard, manager of the Water
Department, the Board voted to
raise the pay of the Auxiliary
Military Police on guard at the
various village plants from $5 to
$5.50 a day. Mr. Southard said
the men were subject to the Vic-tory
tax which cut Into their
wages. Similar action was taken
regarding another group under
the direction of the Police De-partment.

George E. Van Nostrand asked
what one was to do if he had a
