Stray Dogs Will Be
Taken OH Streets
Of Waynesville, And
Put In Pound
Waynesvllle's aldermen last week
enacted a. new ordinance to solve
the town'a stray-dog problem.
The new town law provides that'
any dogs found wandering around
town any time of the day or night
unescorted by their owners will be-
picked up.
It also provides for the estab
lishment of a dog pound where "
strays will be kept.
Town Manager Grayden C. Fer-
guson said yesterday the new .
pound will be built next week near '
the city limits off the Dell wood
Road.
Here areT other principal points
of the new law, which was passed .
on second reading at the board's
regular meeting. .
Strays picked up by authorities -
will be kept in the pound-' three "
days. If the owners do not claim,
them before the time is up, the
dogs will be sold at public auction. '
It they find no buyers, they will r
be put to death painlessly.'
To "ball out" a dog. the owner .
of the pooch must pay a $t im
pounding fee plus 50 cents for each
day, his pet has been bedded and ,
boarded.
All dog owners will be required -
to pay an annual town license or
privilege tax of $1 for r-ch male
and $..fo- each female. N - ....

policemen who have been answer

plaints. Police Chief Orvllle Noland ex
pressed satisfaction over the new
law. -. ; 5 r ' . , "
When asked to estimate the num
ber of strays In the Waynesville
area, he declared: 'Too many. And
some days there seem to be more
than on other days."
Pet owners whose pooches land
In the new clink need have no fear
about their treatment, however.
Officials declared the "guests"
will be well fed and taken care of
during their period of confinement.
