suggest that a circuit or league be
formed consisting of North Plattr ,
Kearney, Hastings, Central City,
Schuyler, Grand Island and Min

that each ot these towns will hare
a team this season, and if the

City Clerk Bundy says that dur
ing the municipal year, drawing to
a close, he has issued forty-eight
dog licenses. The average citizen
can thus judge about what percent
of the docs running at larire are
taxed; we Bhould say not to exceed
twenty-five per cent. This small
percentage shows what a larce an
ordinance that is not cntorced
proveB to be. The ordinance should
during the next year be enforced:
or else repealed. For several years
past a a few citizens have paid the
tax while the many have not.
