COMMUNICATION Mr. Walter Erler, President South Bend City Council March 26 1953 City Hall South Bend, Indiana To the Honorable Members of South Bend City Counoil: I would like for the city council to consider at April 13 meeting the problem of removing the location of The South Bend Humane Society from 1135 Beyer Avenue to a location outside city limits. We people living (I live at 1141 Belmont) on Belmont and Longfellow Avenue are sure the keeping of so many, I think at least 40 at times, dogs constitutes a public nuisance. They start barking at around 5:00 o'oiock in the morning. Householders have protested to Humane Society. I wrote Mrs. Flannegan this week asking them to get the problem solved. It becomes,, so far as we are concerned a matter of human welfare over dogs or dogs over humans. I like dogs but in their place. We do not like to be awakened and disturbed by them constantly. My second problem concerns packs of dogs roaming about Perley School, as many as 10 in a pack. Several children, have had minor bites by dogs. Sooner or later unless the situation is corrected-some one of our 450 students will be hurt seriously. We have announced repeatedly -fw children to keep their dogs homey We called the city dog pound on numerous occasions. This morning my call to dog pound at 8s15 got assurance they would be out. They never showed up* I am recommending that an ordiance with teeth in it be passed to solve this very unsatisfactory condition* Thank you. Very: sincerly yours, Myron D. Weldy Councilman Niezgodski, made a motion that the communication be accepted and placed on file* seconded the motion. Motion carried.
