Three locations in Ada and one in McGuffey are now selling 2017 dog tags for $16. Liberty National Bank, Metz Petz, Ada Animal Hospital, all in Ada, and the Ram's Roost in McGuffey have the license tags for sale.

If you have a dog and are caught without a license, you could be fined $25 to $150 for the first offense. Tags must be purchased by Jan. 31 for dogs 3 months old or older.

Money from the fees supports the dog warden and shelter. A lost dog with a tag is more likely to be returned to its owner.

Marty appeared before the Ada council asking for improvement of the alley past Friedly’s livery barn, for approach of trucks to a proposed soft-drink bottling business. Friedly’s barn was located east of the First National Bank in East Buckeye Avenue.

Can you name Ada's mayor in this photo? Or, how about naming some of the council members - all men, of course. This is the Ada village council in 1953.
