Ald. POLLOCK, for the Judiciary committee, reported as follows:

Your Judiciary committee to whom was referred the matter of the feasibility of a dog pound and dog
catchers respectfully report as follows:
We met for the special purpose of considering the matter and are of the opinion that the penalty
provided for in ordinance No. 68 is sufficient as a remedy for the enforcement of the ordinance. We are of the opinion that the adoption of the dog catcher system would lead to many abuses and to much trouble and expense. We suggest that the mayor publish a notice in the official paper calling attention to the provisions of the ordinance and that it will be enforced. We believe that this, together with prosecutions, if found necessary, will lead to the best results.

                T. GESLEY,
                A. C. HELM,

To the Mayor and Common Council, City of Beloit:
Your Bridge committee to whom was referred the petition of the officers of the town of Rockton,
asking for financial aid in helping to build a new bridge on the Rockton road, would report that when the present bridge was built some years ago the city of Beloit donated three hundred dollars ($300.00) to help build present bridge. Therefore your committee recommend that the sum of three hundred dollars ($300.00) be given to the proper offices of the town of Rockton and that the mayor and clerk be authorized to pay the said amount, $300.00.
This donation is made on the express condition that same is not to be taken as a precedent in the
