Poundmaster seeks upgrade for city dog pound
Poundmaster Einstein reports district revenue from the pound averages about 15000 yearly since 1873. He seeks a modern building, two more laborers, a new horse and wagon, and raises for current workers. Last year 7981 animals were impounded including 3453 dogs and 682 cats. 3555 dogs and all cats were killed. He fears cats will become a nuisance without expanded staff and equipment.
