Hall Noes~ Councilmen None Absent, Councilmen None Petitions were presented containing approximately 1686 signatures of residents of the various school districts, requesting the City Council to adopt a dog leash law, and representin~ the group, Joseph Sawaya~ 2729 W. Carlton Place~ Chairman of Juvenile Protection Committee, John Adams P.T.A., stated the Committee was bombarded with requests from parents~ both by letters and oral requests, that something be done about a dog leash law in Santa Aha. At this time the PTA of John Adams Elem- entary School voted to cooperate in whatever way they could to encourage the City Council to legislate an Ordinance for the passage of a dog leash law. The Santa Ana Council of the PTA also voted they would cooperate fully on this issue, and I would now like to read a few of the many letters I have received on behalf of a dog leash law. Mr. Sawaya read portions of letters from Mr. A. C. Kraft, disabled war veteran~ who was almost attacked, on several occasions, by nomadic dogs while he tried to work from his wheel chair in his garage, and from Joe S. Keith, who stated his children are exposed to the dogs and that his landscaping has been menaced; also quoted an item from the Santa Ana Independent outlining reasons for keeping wandering dogs off the streets~ g lying statistics on the number of dogs in the City, the number of persons who had been bitten in 1959, and urging the passage of such a law. Mr. Sawaya called upon Cham Hensley, 20261 S. W. Birch Street, whose son had re- cently been attacked by a vicious dog. Mr. Hensley stated his two-year old son is still in the hospital and will need extensive plastic surgery, and protested that if there had been a dog leash law this tragedy would not have occurred. Robert Evans~ 2102 Orchard Drive, stated this same dog had severely attacked his daughter, who will also need plastic surgery, and he knows of seven other people who had been bitteu by the same animal. Mr. Sawaya stated there are many other incidents of dog bites which have not been reported~ and as this is now the rabies season, he urged Council's immediate support of a dog leash law. On motion of Councilman Gould, seconded by Hubbard and carried, the petitions and letters were received and filed. The Council
