NACYS OPINION ON
DOG LAWS IS BACKED
BY HUMANE LEADER

The opinion of City Attorney Macy
that there win be clash and confllct ~
l state and city laws on account of the
new state laws providing for licensing
and assessing dogs Is backed up BY the
opinion of a prominent Portland law
yer and president of the Oregon State
Humane society who collects all the
dog licenses in Portland and out of the
proceeds handles the city pound and
disposition of crippled horses, stray
cats and dogs and enforcing humane
laws generally.
The opinion Of City Attorney Macy
holding the state license law invalid
because OF conflict with city ordinan-
ces for licensing and impounding dogs,
was submitted to President Kraemer.
of the Oregon State Humane society,
and law partner of Senator Chamber
lain and he writes the Humane society
of Salem
Il am of the opinion that the law in
Question is unconstitutional, insofar as
it attempts to regulate the licenses Of
dogs for cities. l believe that the coun-
ell has full power and authority to reg
ulate such matters within the limits of
a city, and / believe the decision rem
dered by Judge McNary in the case of
kalich versus Knapp, rs Oregon 55S,
is directly In point. In that case the
state enacted law saying that rs
miles an hour was proper speed limit
for automobiles The ordinance Of the
city prohibited speed Of more than
10 or 15 miles an hour, depending upon
the place. 1t was contended that the
state law supreceded the city ordi-
nance The supreme court held that
st did not, and that the law was un-
constitutional insofar as it attempted
TO regulate the sped of an automobile
In a municipality.
The practice Of county assessors list
ing dogs as personal property And sub
Ject to state and county taxes is ex-
tending and thousands Of dogs are
placed on the assessment rolls. CITY
