the Rabies Quarantine heretofore in

the present situation respecting rabies
in this state:
The fact that ia" rabies quarantine

the contrary. IL Is widely distributed.
So far as known. Clark, Douglas, and
Storey are the only counties which
served the purpose intended: that is,
il has delayed the spread OF the dis
ease: no on" expected TO COnflnc il
. Ia the limits of its distribution at the
/ time the quarantine was established.
The fact that rabies is prevalent in
! Nevada iS well and widely known.
, Other states can now protect them
selves by duarantining against Nevada
dogs If they desire to do so, as Wyom-
ing and Montana have done. The 10.
cal officials throughout the state can
protect their respective communities
by establishing local quarantines
That plan has worked well with sew
,ral towns in the state. and Is recon-
mcndod TO the local officials. Undc
present conditions, the benefits to b,
derived from continuing state wild,
rabies quarantine are no longer sufli
