Our DOG POPULATION We have
| heretofore given some statistics Of this lazy.
| noisy, expensive, and, for the most part.
useless variety Of live stock. Enquiries have
lately been made Of j. S. Crawford ESQ.,. the
the very efficient Clerk to the County com
nissioners, for a statement in relation to the
operation of the law for this county to tax
dogs for the protection of sheep, with view
to the passage of a similar law for Hartford
county, and from the notes made by that
officer to enable him to answer those enquiries.
we have made up the statistics found below.
The Dog Law which went into operation in
1904, allowed every family one dog free, and
ohy taxed the excess over one. In that year
2,i32 dogs were assessed of which number
G69 were taxed $l.00 per head, making
SG69.G0. The cost Of assessing. COLLECTING
ana the deduction for insovences, amounted
to sio3 .9s-leaving only S265.G2 to pay for
damages to sheep. In 1855, 1882 dogs were
assessed; 54G taxablc the expenses were
s34l .GS, leaving $204.S2 to pay for shoep.-
During those two years the awards for DANA
ges to sheep amounted to 81 ,GSJ.07; being
$l,2l5.13 more than the net proceeds of the
law for both years.
In 1856 the new g Dog Law went into
operation. 1t reversed the principle of the
former law, taxing the first dog owned by
person or family Sl.O0, and the excess over
one, so cents each. Under it, the first year.
2,5'5 dogs were assessed, 1,9SS of them at
sl.oO head and the balance at fifty cents,
making total Of S2,2S1 80; the attending
expenses amounted to S5il.66, leaving net
sum Of 81 1884 to pay for damages to sheep,
out of which, by provision of the new law,
the Sl.2l5.73, not provided for by the old
law, was paid, leaving S524.11 to pay so much
Of the 81 ,2G3.l6 damages to sheep, awarded
up to July LIST 1857, and leaving s739 O5 10 BE-
paid out of the proceeds Of the tax for 1857.
In 1857, 2,692 dogs were assessed, so rated as
to amount to S2,i00.00. AS tho amount Of
insolvences for the current year arc not vet
determined, Mr.. Crawford has estimated the
expenses of the year to end the LIST of July
next, al So69.00; this sum from the So 400. 90
will leave 81 ,sSl 90 TO pay awards for damages
w '"S'P' iahe iioiii inns VIC > oo.oo, unpaid
last year, and there is left for the current
year, which will expire with June next,
the sum of 1,091.9 Judging from the
awards already in, and making comparison
, with former years the awards of the current
year, will probably amount to $1,000; there
will then be left surplus OF s9l.95. The
"Dog Law" may, therefore, be now sci down
as in successful operation, and quite sut6ci ,nt
to pay for all sheep destroyed or damaged by
dogs in Cecil county.
