Jack
Davis reported that the February meeting was cancelled as there was not much to
talk about. Jack said that he still
thinks that the nuisance ordinance needs to be worked on and suggested that the
super-visors talk to the solicitor about dividing it up, if that was what the
supervisors wanted to do. Jack
dis-cussed with the supervisors an incident that took place on Meadow Lane
involving some pit bull dogs. The
supervisors stated that when there is a problem such as the one with the pit
