Saturday 7 October 1916 – Dogs at large

DOGS AT LARGE

We are asked to draw the attention of those concerned to the nuisance caused by dogs being at large at night. Now that the streets are quite unlit, it is impossible to see dogs that are at all dark in colour, and some accidents have been caused by cyclists and others running over them. It has for a long time been an offence for dogs to be out after lighting up time unless they are under control. If the police initiated a few prosecutions no doubt the owners no doubt the owners would look after them more carefully.
