Dear Sir:
I want to express my unhappiness with the proposed new leash law that will
have a hearing soon. First of all, I don't think it's fair to have a hearing
on a work day when rrany pet owners can't be there to speak their piece
(and Charlie wouldn't give them a chance judging by most of his past per-
formances). I have a dog and I or some member of the household is with
it at all times. Why not clamp down on those people that let their dogs
run loose or do something about howling cats ? Also I live near a small
park and I should charge the city for the clean up job I do just about every
morning after the all night parties that consist of wine, women and beer,
the liquid coming in bottles that are broken , usually in the street, if left
there tnng enough. and the other evidence that used altogether too often
these days, especially by young people ! ! And the language used in that
park during the day and some sand-lot games is enough to turn your
stomach because.3t's just kids that are about 10 years old that use it !
And to finish thi;s, I think that the money that would be used for this could
be ptzt to better use in another fund, such as getting heavy enough blades
for the snow plo�vs so you could tell that the streets had been plo�ued or
else in the street repZir so that there wouldn't be so many chuck holes.
