DOG NUISANCE.
Byelaw made by the Town Council on the 17th February,
1930:—
" No person being in charge of a dog in any street or public
place, and having the dog on a lead, shall allow or permit such
dog to deposit its excrement upon the public footway.
"Any person offending against this Byelaw shall be liable
to a penalty not exceeding Forty Shillings."
The following is a copy of the poster which has been exhibited
in prominent positions since June, 1930: —
"Borough of Hornsey.
Dog Nuisance.
The Fouling of the Public Footways by Dogs
is very offensive to the general public, as well as being
Dangerous to Health.
Dog Owners are asked to co-operate in keeping the
pavement clean by training their dogs to use the
gutter or roadway.
All dogs are trained not to foul their
owners' living rooms. They can easily
be trained not to foul the footways;
The attention of the public is drawn to the following
Byelaw made by the Town Council: —
" No person being in charge of a dog in any
street or public place, and having the dog on a
lead, shall allow or permit such dog to deposit its
excrement upon the public footway.
'' Any person offending against this Byelaw shall
be liable to a penalty not exceeding Forty
Shillings."
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Highgate, N.6."
As a result of inspections, it was found that passages and shop
fronts suffer the most from fouling by dogs; that few dog-owners
keep their dogs on leads, either early morning or late evening, or
appear to realise, or care, how disgusting the fouling of the
footpaths and shop fronts by dogs can become.
