All Dogs Must Wear Proper Collar on
English Highways.

LONDON, Nov. 24,-The Board of
Agriculture and Fisheries has issued an
order empowering local authorities
throughout England, Wales and Scot
land to make regulations that all dogs
while in highway or place of public
resort shall wear a collar with the
name and address of their owners plain

A similar regulation is already in
force in London and in some other
places, under the Rabies order Of
1925. It e1empts dogs wearing such
collars from the requirement of muz.

voked, and authorities are empowered
TO make regulations compelling the
wearing of collars bearing the owners ;
