Strom of the State Law Enforcement Division said one arrest yielded a quantity of hard narcotics worth $30,000 on the illegal market.

These many citizens we hqve in mind and that our Mayor forgot cannot boast 300 square feet for the pooch that is their companion and maybe protector against wrongdoers of which there are around more than ever, notwithstanding a diligent Police Department, nor can they fulfill the other requisites of the proposed Amendment: some of these also are on small incomes, like those others the Mayor talked about.

And the pooch will be impounded and they have not the money to redeem him and he will go to the only place where people are not tantalized the grave. And maybe he just barked or ran around the block without, his leash. And the owner will be without his companion and protector, because the police can only protect you AFTER THE CRIME, and not'maybe avoid it like The pooch did, and this is something to ponder in these times. We are not legal people; we are humane people! We are not against legality of course. But as steel requires to be tempered so legality should be tempered with flexibility, with compassion and with charity: it should not be a straight-jacket and it should provide safeguards against abuse.

Without these ingredients legal ity is at best as insipid as food without salt and as dull as a day without sunshine to borrow from the winsome Anita Bryant. The proposed Amend- ment has none of these ingredients and the people are entitled to know of it's scope before it is made law AND NOT AFTER IT IS MADE LAW. In the meantime our Police Department has plenty of powers to curbe ir-responsibles, and make ho mistake we are not defending irresponsibles. As humane people we cannot support this measure, or partake in it's execution. If we are represented as a participant in this measure it is without our consent.

We will see what we will see with a constrict heart and maybe we will lose a few members and some financial support, but we will sustain our creed 'Be Kind to And later on when the leaves are falling off fhe trees, and the last roses are blooming our garden, and those angelic, smiling faces come around again, looking for our votes, who could blame you dog owner fellow dog owner for remembering the month of July.

We view the whole thing as unnecessarily harsh on the vast majority of dogs and dog owners in order to curb a few irresponsible recalcitrants: it is arbitrary and provides no court of appeals, no recourse whatsoever, no protection against abuse of power or authority: it is in the nature of a blank cheque, and Whomsoever the City cares to delegate authority to becomes Judge, Jury and Executioner: any person tempted to interfere or hinder will do so under penalty of fine, in introducing measure at FIRST READ-' ING last month, and as justification for it, our Mayor recited some unfortunate and deplorable incidents that have taken place over a considerable period of time.

No one at City Hall could deplore those incidents more than we dp, and this Amendment of course' is not a guar- antee that such unfortunate incidents will not happen again. It has been insinuated that we are more concerned about animals than about, people, but our credentials of being concerned about people will stand close scrutiny, and we will not be caught short. It seems us a pity that on that occasion our Mayor failed to tell Council also that on the other hand there are many, many citizens in Greenwood that for years have kept harmless, protective, companionable four-footed animals that have never caused any harm to anyone, never bitten anyone, not even at election time, and that have given to their owners years of devotion and protection that will, with mathematical precision, fall victims under this code, that a recent caller dubbed 'ungodly'.
