Dog Ordinance
To Be Enforced
The citizens of Mount Joy
should be reminded that the
borough has a dog ordinance.
The ordinance provides that
dogs be kept in enclosures or
secured by a leash. Dogs are
permitted on the pavement
when controlled by a leash.
Penalties are provided for
violation of this ordinance.
Numerous, complaints have
been received by the Burgess
about loose dogs running a-
round town. In some incidents
these dogs were not known to
be residents in the neighbor-
hood where they were found
running loose. The Burgess
is contacting a dog pound
where it is probable these
dogs will be taken. Should
your dog happen to be one ta-
ken to the dog pound, you
would be required to pay for
its release. We believe all dog
owners will agree that some
control is necessary. The Bur-
gess expressed his hope that
the condition will be arighted
so that no arrests under the
ordinance need be made.
Please keep your dog out of
the neighbor's garden. When
it is desirable to let your dog
outside, please see that it is
not running loose but secured
on a leash or guarded by a
proper pen.
