Supervisors now face the unpleas-
ant duty of collecting a dog tax and
the provision of the law is such that
they must make such collection, I'M
pleasant rs it is. The owner of the or
binary Fido likes to pay dog tax about
as well as he likes to take castor oil,
and the township officers have found
in the past that it was much easier to
forget the dog tax than to collect it.
Consequently such tax has had but
little attention paid to it. Now the new
law says that the supervisor must per-
sonally collect the dog tax. Even the
sheriff is rung in on it as the supervis-
or must turn over list of dogs on
which the tax has not been paid and to
him is given the duty Of Kidding the
community of the untaXed dogs.
Wednesday is Bargain-day at Weis-
