During the first four months of 1975 + 174 complaints were received which is
--down from 196 during the first four months of 1974 which is refreshing.

In addition, 201 dogs were impounded as opposed to 174 in 1974 and in addition,
the number of dogs claimed has increased from 95 to 118 in 1975. This shows

productive activity by the Inspectors.
