Of the otfrer three, one thinks such an ordinance un necessary, a second thinks it wrKild be difficult to enforce and a third is undecided. Two of the five who sup port thg) idea have dogs of their own. The councilman opposed to dog control has none himself, while the one skeptical of enforcement pro cedure and the undecided ayember both do. The council was polled simply on the principle of a dog control - ordinance, of "leash law," since no specific measur is under considera tion at present. ' ' giris Hagler, JacRson coun ty dog control officer, last jfirveek urged adoption of a "leash law" in response tOothe Gag Lancfs Driver In Municipal Court Duarte, Calif .-(UPD- Charles La Rocca, 33, has jJune 17 date In Santa Aiita Municipal court because he drove down a main street in his convert ible while wearing a gorilla suit. - Sheriffs deputies said cars scattered when drivers saw a gorilla bearing down on them. La Rocca was booked on a charge of wearing a costume without a permit. . killing of a small boy May 16 by a pack of strays in St. Louis. Hagler said he was "surprised" no comparable in cident had occurred locally. Council President James Dunlevy, Ward IV, was" one supporter of a city ordinance. "As dog ownr," he" said, "I think there should be one and it should he enforced." Asked if he thought the mat ter should be pursued at this time, he replied, "I definitely think so." . "I dislike the thought of needing one," Councilman Don Hansen, Ward II, said on the other hand. Asked if from his i o w n observation he thought a dog control prob lem exists, Hansen said, "No, I couldn't say that I do." Difficult to Enforce Councilman Ed Hall,' Ward I, said, "I feel a dog control ordinance is very difficult to enforce." He said he thought it should be "up to the indi vidual to control the animal." Hall said building a fence to keep a dog in the yard would be expensive to ;the owner, while a leash or chain would be unfair to the dog itself. Enforcement measures, he continued,1 would necessi tate new items on the city budget. ' " "But of course if achild is bitten,"' he added, r."you couldn't put it in dollars and cents." ; : , In Favor, of Control Tm in favor of some sort of control .law for dogs," Councilman Robert Baccus, Ward HI, said. "I like dogs. At the same time dhere prob ably is some way to control them in a humane way." , : ""I think we should have pne," Councilman Fred Rob inson, Ward I, said. He said dogs can be, a "danger.' "I've known several cases," he added, "that scared me half to death; But fortunately they didn't end in tragedy." Rob inson described dog control as a "moral responsibility." "I would approve something of that nature if the details were worked out equitably," Councilman Stan Stark, Ward IV, replied in the poll. Asked if he thought Medford needed such a dog control ordinance now, Stark said, "I think so." Good Idea . ' "I think it's a good idea," Councilman '.Robert- Van Sickle, Ward III, stated. G"I feel awfully sorry ; for the people who try to do a job in their yard Or are bothered by barking." --. , -. Councilman Al "Bradford, Ward II, said, "I haven't come' to a definite conclusion on how I feel about that yet. "I can't say I'd favor one now," Bradford said. But, he added, "It's worth exploring." 'Those councilmen who have dogs at present include Dun levy, Hall, Van Sickle and Bradford. Robinson said he has had dogs in the past and likes them.

"The advocates of the sales tax made a serious effort to ..get a sales tax on the ballot and, as usual, coupled it with an alternative designed ta.be so onerous that the peoplF of Oregon could be persuaded to accept a sales tax ashe less er of two evils," he said.
