 A strict quarantine on all dogs in the town of Painvilo has been | placed by State Health Officer ban iel A. Markham as the result Of the prevalence of rabies in surrounding towns and cities, No complaints had been made to the health officer, Dr. George r, Cook, to First Select man William J. Johnson. or the dog warden, Philip Marino Novcrthe- less. the local health officer was cognizant of the fact that rabies existed and that in Southington, Bristol, ForcstViIe, Farmington. lnionVille and New Britain the can ines were under quarantine
 Because of this knowledge. he and Warden Marine have been keep ing q strict surveillance, and the latter has been keeping his eyc peeled for suspicious animals. A number of stray dogs have been brought into th" pound and kept quarantined for the past two weeks. ! Dr. Cook has had pr. I. R. Vail, Bristol veterinary, examine these dogs daily for traces of rabies. but so far no outbreak has been detect ed,
 Last night pr. Cook got in touch with State Health Officer Markham In this regard, as the local officer is rowcrIess 10 bring about q quar- antine on dogs. The authority rests with the state, and Dr, Cook laid the matter before Dr, Markham who thought it best to lay a quar- intine on all canincs here, inasmuch as Plainvillc, while itself free from
 the disease, is in the center of the district where 1t is prevalent This is solely q precautionary measure, since new cases arc being reported in ncighboring towns, but none have yet been found here.
 Dr. Cook has ordered Warden ! Marine 10 see that all dogs are kept tied up or on leashos. All loose dogs will be impoundcd and kept so until l Nulltl ltl pt lItCIl tH .ltlS.
 Three or four children have been bitten during the last few days by stray animals which wandered in from outside of the town, The can ines were caught and are being kept under close surveillance, but no traces of madness have been dctcct- ed. Two of the children are being given treatment for rabies by Dr. Cook as q safeguard, serum having been rushed here for the purpose. The health officer wishes the pub lie 10 understand that there has l been no negligence or laXity on the part of the authorities, but that for two weeks steps have been taken 1 quietly. Warden Marine has been at great pains to cheek up stray dogs ! and both he and Dr. Cook have been working faithfully to prevent the in- cursion of the disease into this town. The duictnoss with which they worked led 10 misunderstan1- however, and now quarantine is in | effect, It will bo rigidly enforced.
