After repeated pleas to
dog owners to restrain their
pets so they won’t be nusi-
ances to neighbors, and after
numerous complaints over
the past several months,
Clifton’s City Council voted
Tuesday night to "put some
teeth" in the local dog laws.
For about an hour during
Tuesday night’s regular
monthly session, Council-
men, and Police Chief Jim
Alexander discussed meth-
ods of dealing with the
canine problems.
Prior to Tuesday’s action,
the Council has made several
pleas to have dog owners
vaccinate, buy city tax tags,
and keep their pets at home.
City pleas and even ultima-
tums, however apparently
fell upon "deaf ears.”
? Warnings that dogs would
•be caught and impounded,
,)vhen neighbors complained,
were paid little heed because
.most residents knew the city
}iad no dog pound (they did
^iave a ramshackle pen), and
“they knew it’s hard for
“anyone to catch a dog.
t In extreme cases previous-
ly. dogs have been shot, but
•city officials and officers
-frown on this method of
^solving the problem, for
* obvious reasons of safety and
**he permanent destruction of
^pets, which doesn’t make
anyone very popular.
Now however, a new dog
♦pound is near completion,
*and a unanimous vote Tues-
day authorized Chief Alex-
ander to purchase a dart gun
fund supply of tranquilizer
rdarts, so that the offending
"animals can be temporarily
^rendered immobile and
^caught. (This is an accepted
•humane practice for the
/•animal, and also protects the
♦.officer from bites from vici-
*ous animals).
- Already on the city law
•■books are ordinances that
C authorize the city to impound
5 certain offending animals for
£two days, then to advertise
jj the dog for public auction by
S notice posted on the door at
* City Hall on the third day.
i Owners would therefore have
Jj two days to claim their dog
* and pay a fee for this release,
y or have him sold on the third
£ day, or if is unwanted by
bidders, to be disposed of.
.; The City Councilmen—
j thoroughly tired of coping
? with the problem—even con-
j- tcmplated adding to the list
? of ordinances, a ‘‘leash
j law.” Such a law would
I
make it illegal for any dog to
run loose, even when tagged.
20 Years Ago
October 14,1960
For the fourth time E.E.
Stewart, Clifton golfer, has
won a leg on one of the four
Dahl trophies that H.C.
(Turkey) Dahl, formerly of
Clifton and now of Beverly
Hills, California, has provid-
ed the Clifton Golf Club. The
1960 Dahl Trophy Tourna-
ment was completed this
past Sunday with approxi-
mately 15 golfers taking part.
Mr. Stewart, with his
handicap of five strokes,
wound up the 54-hole tourna-
ment play with a net score of
213. Gerald Rice finished
second with a net of 215;
Jean Pierson was third with a
net score of 219; and Oren J.
Canuteson, Jr. finished
fourth with a score of 222.
As stated above, Mr. Dahl
has furnished four trophies
during the past 10 or 12
years, and each time Mr.
Stewart has won a leg on the
trophy. When any golfer
wins two legs on a trophy,
the cup goes to that golfer. If
four separate golfers each
acquire a leg on the trophy,
then the four have a play-off
match, with the winner tak-
ing permanent possession of
the cup.
Last year Pat Stewart
competed against his father
in a foursome for the tourna-
ment and, with his larger
handicap, won the cup.
David Knydson won the
other two Dahl trophies.
Honor guests of the Clifton
Lions Club Tuesday, October
11, were the Clifton High
School coaches, Aubrey Rob-
erts, Fred West, and Richard
Liardon.
Kent Appleby, superinten-
dent of schools, introduced
the coaches, telling where
each grew to manhood—Mr.
Roberts in Hamilton and
Carlton, Mr. West in De-
Leon, and Mr. Liardon in
Hutto.
Mr. Appleby, after giving
the education background of
the coaches, continued with a
number of interesting statis-
tics in connection with the
public school faculty.
Of the 31 members of the
Clifton faculty, 15 have mas-
ter’s degrees, which is con-
siderably above the average
education of public school
teachers in Texas. The 31
teachers have an overall total

30 Years Ago
October 13,1950
Dr. T.C. Coston, who had
been on hand most every day
to watch the building of the
new Bosque bridge at Clif-
ton, and W.O. Gloff, who
lives just east of the bridge,
were the first citizens to
cross the new bridge last
Wednesday, October 4; the
crossing was made in Dr.
Coston’s Model T Ford.
Those who have crossed
the new bridge have all
expressed the view that the
highway department select-
ed an excellent crossing as
far as beauty is concerned—
the view up or down the river
is one of the prettiest along
the river.
The contractor has about
completed graveling the ap-
proaches to the bridge and
will be ready for the topping
crew late this week or early
next. His schedule calls for
topping the road before
November 1. The bridge was
in use the middle of this
week; it likely will be closed
again when the topping crew
starts to work.

“Pat” White ran into an
oddity last Saturday morning
when he went out to see how
his dog and small puppies
were making out. He found
the mother dog washing a
real small cottontail rabbit
while the latter was nursing.
The dog was a stray that
had taken up at the White
home west of Clifton shortly
before her new family arriv-
ed. Just how long the rabbit
will find a home is a mystery
to Mr. White, but he was still
enjoying himself the middle
of the week.
