pound for the period and in the manner and upon the terms,
conditions and requirements as are specified in this ordinance.

ized to enter upon private premises at any and all reasonable
times while engaged in the discharge of his duties under this

abandoned dead animal found or being upon any private premises;
and also to remove and humanely dispose of any live animal
which, either by reason of age or infirmity or request of the
owner or person having the care, custody m control thereof, is
to be destroyed and disposed of within said city; provided,
however, that in case of large animals weighing two hundred
pounds or more each (and whether live or dead), the pound

such animal for the actual cost of removal and disposition of
such animal and such owner shall be liable to such pound mas-
ter for the amount of such claim.
SECTION 24. That the City Council shall have, and
said Council does hereby expressly reserve, the right and pow-
er (notwithstanding any other provision, term or condition in

to revoke any dog license issued under the provisions hereof,

any time finds, that any dog described or referred to in any
dog license, or for which any dog license is or may be issued
hereunder is vicious, dangerous or apt to bite or injure any
person or persons.
Whenever any dog licensed hereunder is, in either
the written opinion of the pound master or of the City Council
of said city filed with the City Clerk of said city, vicious,
dangerous or apt to bite or injure any person or persons, and
is kept in such manner as to constitute an apparent menace to
any person or persons in said city, such dog may be immediately
impounded by the pound master or his duly authorized agents,
representatives or assistants. As soon as reasonably possible
after any such dog is so impounded, or said written opinion is
- 11 -
filed with said Clerk, the owner or owners of such dog, or the
person or persons harboring such dog, or the person or persons
to whom such license for such dog was issued or any person
whose name appears therein, shall be notified (either person-
ally or by registered mail addressed to such person, or persons,
at the address shown in such license) of the fact of such im-
pounding or of the filing of such written opinion and that such
person or any person interested may appear at a hearing before
said Council at a meeting of such Council to be specified in
such notice (such notice of hearing shall be served at least
48 hours prior to the time of such meeting) and show cause if
any such person has, or such persons have, why such dog should
not be destroyed. Such notification shall also contain or have
attached thereto a copy of any such opinion so filed, if any.
Upon such hearing said Council shall hear all persons who ap-
pear and desire to be heard, and shall thereupon decide wheth-
er such dog shall be released, destroyed or otherwise disposed
of, and its decision after such hearing shall be final and con-
clusive.
Said Council hereby finds and determines that the
reservation of the right and power hereinabove made is neces-
sary in order to protect the public peace, health and safety
of said city, and of its inhabitants, not only on account of
physical danger and vicious and dangerous dogs, but also from
the standpoint of the suppression and combatting of the ever
present menace of rabies.
SECTION 25. In order to accommodate the public of
said City and to expedite the issuance of licenses hereunder,
the City Clerk of said city is hereby authorized, subject to
the general authority of the pound master, to issue at the
office of said Clerk in the City Hall any license contemplated
under this ordinance.

lic street, avenue, alley or place, or found trespassing upon
any private property within said city, may be taken up by the
pound master, or by any other person, and committed to the cus-
tody of the pound master who shall hold the same, subject to
reasonable demands for actual damages done by such fowl or
fowls in addition to the fees prescribed herein. Any such
fowl may be redeemed by the person entitled to such fowl upon
payment to the pound master of any damages as above contem-
plated (which damages shall be paid to the person who or whose
property was damaged), plus an impounding fee of 50¢ and a
charge of 25¢ per day for the keep of each such fowl.
Any fowl not redeemed within three (3) days after
the impounding thereof, shall be sold or otherwise disposed of
by the poundmaster in such manner as to the pound master at the
time shall seem best. All impounding and keep fees collected
under this section, shall be the property of said city, unless
otherwise stated in any contract made under the provisions of
this ordinance. The pound master, unless some other person be
specified so to do in any such contract shall keep an accurate
and appropriate record of all fowls impounded and of the dis-
position thereof and of the fees collected in connection
therewith. The pound master shall provide at the cost of said
city subsistence for all such fowls during the impoundment
thereof, unless otherwise specified in any contract awarded
under this ordinance.
SECTION 27. In the event a license fee higher than
I. the fee provided in this ordinance has been paid for any dog
r`
L
license for the current year in which this ordinance takes
effect, the excess of such payment over the fee herein pre-
scribed for such license, may be refunded upon the filing and
allowance of a proper demand therefor.
- 13 -
SECTION 28. If any section, subsection, sentence,
clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to
be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The
Council of the City of E1 Segundo hereby declares that it would
have passed this ordinance, and each section, subsection, sen-
tence, clause and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that
any one or more other sections, subsections, sentences, clauses
or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

corporation violating any of the provisions of this ordinance

such violation such person, firm, association or corporation

fornia, or in the County Jail of Los Angeles County, California,
as the committing magistrate may direct, for a period of not
to exceed six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment in

shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every
day during which, any of the provisions of this ordinance is
violated and shall be punishable therefor as herein provided.
SECTION 30. That Ordinances Nos. 95,-155 and 1$$ and all
ordinances amendatory of said ordinances are hereby repealed, as
