I am very much opposed to same and.1 have talked to others and they feel the same. In the part of the City that I live there are but a very few homes that do not have a dog and others have two or move* and as far as it goes I have not seen that the dogs that are at liberty do very much harm. Any way not as much as some humans that climb over fences and tramp thru gardens,etc. I am in favor to have dogs licensed and let them have their freedom, and dogs that are bad disposition I think that the average one that has one will either keep it in bonds or dispose of same. I think if you pass your ordinance you are just causing trouble for yourselves and others in your position in the future. Yours respectfully Harry V. Hanson 917 Seventh Ave.S.W.

"Rochester,•Minnesota June 10,1939 Dear Sir:- We wish to express to the City Council of Rochester our"deep regret that action was taken to allow the sale of beer in a place of business directly opposite our high school. By granting a license for the off -sale of beer at 420 Second Street Southwest you have taken,a step that cannot fail to make our high-school students more susceptible to the drink evil. There is the danger, too,;`that our students will court to accept the sale of beer in a grocery store as a matter of fact and a matter of no concern. The Women's Christian Temperance Union believes that our boys and girls should have a chance to grow,,up•without becoming beer -minded, and we believe that every effort should be made to keep the standards of our high school students -on the highest possible level. The step.you have taken in granting this license can in no way help to raise the standards of Rochester students, and we believe the license fee can in no way condone your interest in granting said license. Alderman Richman is to be congratulated on his stand re the above case. Respectfully yours, Cora E.Abernathy, Pres. Emma Pike, Sec.
