Don't Blame The Dog Law

Governor Harrington stopped in fol
a few minutes at the meeting of the
Sheep Growers Association last week
but during that short period said
more for the cause of the dog Law
than any similar number of words yel
uttered about it.
The gist of the Governors state
ments was this: That the Maryland
Dog Law is adequate to meet the
needs at present, and that the lack
OF enforcement is squarely up to tht
States Attorneys and the County
Commissioners.
This recalls the trouble several
counties have experienced under the
previous and past dog laws, both
County and State. 1t also brings tc
mind the efficient method employed
by the Commissioners and States At
torney in Allegany County. just why
other counties are behind in this
movement for a systematic clean VI

Mr.. Fox said this morning it is i'm

worse, or the acts of vandalism spread
