Dr. Ross' proposal was tendered to City officials last week.

The proposal calls for the city to invest $12,500 in a facility on Dr. Ross' property on Highway 82 West. Another $25,000 would be provided from the estate of the late John Hough, a dog lover who willed that amount towards the establishment of a pound here. The proposal also calls for paying set fees to Dr. Ross for operating and maintaining the pound on behalf of the city.

ROSS WANTS THE CITY to pay him $400 per month in maintenance costs of the facility plus a per-animal fee for feeding and professional services. As outlined to the city, his charge would be $22.50 for keeping dogs up to 30 pounds in weight and all cats for five days. The charge for dogs weighing more than 30 pounds would be $25 for five days. This price includes putting the animals to sleep should no one claim them within the five days. Rabies and vaccination fees will be paid for by people claiming the animals already being picked up with clarity as far away as Jackson.
