The matter of employing; dog catchers has been discussed In Alton each Spring for the last three years without action being taken.

Chief Fitzgerald estimated that fully one-third of tha dogs In Alton ore. ownerless.

Immediately after the shooting both Cllne nnd Irwln eaid it was an acci dent. Tho authorities became convinced Irwln Old not himself. Before his death Irwln made a stale incut but it was kept a secret. 1'olice found shells In the yard uf Dllne's home and a hundred fpet nunj from thffl house.

New Library Building Proposed Included In the report of tho public library was a request that the full tax of l.S mills should be assessed for library purposes, thereby giving the city library $3100 annually.

The entire sum would not bo needed at present, but It was desired to set it aside in a special reserve fund to be used later to purchase a lot on which a new library building should be erected. Tho council approved the report. Ordinances providing for a janitor nt the city hall at u. salary of $50 per. month and providing for a health officer at $50 a month were repealed, as those; offices were abolished.

The claim ot AVhlte for $25 or damages to his' auto by striking sewer cap on Madison avenue was ejected. It was voted to bring suit against Carl Hale who had the refreshment onoesslon at the swimming; pool last nmnier for $225, the full amount of )ls bid.

But It is realized by the city officials' that the order cnnnot be made fully, effective nt this time because so many dogs are ownerless. There IB no one responsible for stray dogs, and, lit case the rabies situation becomes acute, there will bo no way to enforce a muzzling order on hundreds of ownerless dogs that run tho streets. The only solution seen by police, officials is to employ dog catchers, and eliminate the stray animals; then It will be possible to make owners assume responsibility for custody of dogs. It Is tho plan to have the dog catchers round up all unlicensed dogs.

They will be Impounded sis is provided under the revised ordinances and- It unclaimed by owners will humanely disposed of. The chief problem Been by Chief Fitzgerald in employing dog catchers IB to find a'location for a dog pound. Because of the'barking and yelping of dogs confined in a pound, it Is desirable to locate It (it somo point where residents not be annoyed, and it Is a difficult matter to find such a place which will be readily accessahle. One suggestion made to Chief JFltzgeralo is to use the old boat building In Riverfront Park. Another Is to ha-fe a dog pound erected on one the city dumps.

Accordingly Mayor Tipton thought that it would be preterrable to reappoint tho four officers named nnd have them re-sanctioned by the council Instead of ordering a republlcntlon ot the minutes of the council. This was done and the new proceedings will contain the names' of the appointees In tho regular manner and save the duplication of trying job for the, erring printer. the Bellefontnlne bridge will he done here In the Illinois Terminal yards, on.the river front, this being a. happy the- bridge builders, one of tho happiest situations, Mr.

In most Instances the new names have immediately come into public favor but in a few cases the old street appelntlons have been retained in public favor despite City Council enactments. Among streets where new names were put Into effect with immediate adoption by the public are East Broadwny, Central avenue nnd College avenue, nil changes being the result of consolidation of connecting: series of streets known Toy different names. Another street where change was made without friction was Victory street, renamed from German street during the world war.

Tho most recently enacted change was on Pearl street where the council has eliminated what was formerly Shields street. But In one Instance a new name for a street has not come Into gen eral use.
