trelatng 10 licensing dogs, WAS taken
from the liable.
The same senator then moved that
III" report of tn" committee on agri-
icultlIrc, ought To pass" be accepted.
Mr.. FULTON of Sagadahoc: Mr..
President: In regard To this matter
of licensing dogs, it is law that has
been tinkercd with by the I.cgislatu
/ I.lr 10 l1
that the special change in the law now
IS that any domestic animal that is
killed or damaged by wild animals, the
State mnSt come in and pay.
| 1t seems To me that the law as il cy-
lists today is sufficient for all practical
purposes. Under the law as il is at the
present time. fund is provided by the
licenses from the owners of dogs, and
IN any man suffers damage by dogs he
Is reimbursed from this fund, and after
these damages are all paid, the balance
OF the fund reverts back to the differ
ent towns.
| can see that the law as amended
VIII cause great amount of trouble
to town officials. | understand, as this
Nv Is amended, ii a hawk sWoopS Gown
land Kills chicken, the man can GU to
| the SeleElNien ana can be raid for il.
And the same if Il fox kills a chicken
The law as it now is seems to be Sutfi-
Client for all practical purposes.
Mr.. BLANCHARD Of Franklin: Mr.
| President: | would like to inquire. Of
the senator. through the chair, If he
| understands there is any way for a
4 man who has sheep killed by a bear To
get paid Tor the same under the pres
ent law
Mr.. FULTON: do not think there
is.
MIR BLANCHARD. Mr. President.

think il * pretty serious Bears de-
| StroN nur sheep somewhat. and did
! want this bill To pass in its present
