Commissioners Of counties who have
neglected or refused to order con.
stables to destroy dogs which have not
been assessed and registered in bor-
oushs and townships, will be sued by
the State for failure TO comply with
The dog law Of 1893 and 1915. Arrange.
ments were made with the Attorney
Generals department by the State De.
partment of Agriculture and the State
Game Commission for action at law.
The Attorney Generals department
has informed the Game Commission
that the acts make it mandatory upon
commissioners TO enforce the law,
complaint having been made that birds
beneficial to farmers were being de-
stroyed by wild dogs, while It also was
found that one Of the chief reasons
why the Department of Agriculture
could not secure more cooperation in
raising Of sheep was the number of
wild dogs. Thousands of dollars have
been paid to owners Of sheep and
other domestic animals destroyed or
injured by dogs in the last year.
Constabfes who fail to kill dogs
when ordered to do so will be taxed
two dollars for every dog which other
persons are employed to Kill, but when
the officers kill dogs they will be paid
