When Layton went after unlicensed canines and restricted open burning too


BEFORE the existence of Davis County Animal Control, back in the spring of 1957, Layton City went aggressively after unlicensed dogs.
"Look out dogs!" was an April 4, 1957 headline in the Weekly Reflex newspaper. 
"A crew of Layton City employees will canvass the community next week to pick up all unlicensed dogs. They will carry with them a list of all dogs that have been licensed. A house-to-house call was made recently for the purpose of selling tags for canines," the Reflex story stated.

-Also, at the same time, the Layton City Council banned the burning of any refuse, waste or combustible material, except on the days of Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday, between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.
This regulation included any property, street or sidewalk within the City limits. Violation was a misdemeanor.
