<br />the following information is submitted:
<br /> (a) Mr. Ivey, 4008 King Street, north side of his chicken yard is wide open next
<br />to water, also at the south east corner dogs could jump the fence
<br /> (b) Mr. Hill, 4016 King Street, the north~side of his chicken'yard is wide open
<br />next to the water. The south side of fence was built of old window screens. The west side of the fence is about
<br />two and one half feet high; dogs or any animal could very easily get in. A sm~ll window screen is used for s
<br />gate, does not have a catch or hook to hold it closed.
<br /> (c) Mr. Applewhite, 4022 King Street, had his chicken yard properly built; but
<br />dogs could climb it.
<br /> I have checked this area and have found no report of wild dogs, or have I seen
<br />any. My belief is that it was the neighbors' dogs and pets. Signed: T. L. Comstock, Game Warden."
