"Muzzling" A Mistake
Mayor Thomas L. Driscoll pointed out today that
the recently published legal notice setting out an
amendment of the Malverne Village Ordinance con-trolling
dogs erroneously contains a provision that
dogs be muzzled and leashed in the streets and other
public places in the Village, The requirement of
muzzling appeared in the old ordinance and was
inadvertently carried over in the preparation of the
amendment. Such provision should have read:
"No person who owns, possesses or harbors a
dog shall suffer, permit or allow such dog upon
any of the streets, avenues or public places of
the Village unless such dog is held upon a leash
at all times and in all cases, accompanied by
some person able to fully control it.*'
Action will be taken by the Village Board to
make the necessary correction.
