We are told it is a violation of the law to allow a dog to run at large off the lot of the owner. So if you have a dog we suggest you keep it undet leash or keep it shut up. This does not mean to keep your dog shut up in the day time anil when night comes turn him out to romp met the Victory Gardens in ('her This same rule applies to chickens too, keep your chickens on your own tot and out of your neighbors Victory garden.
