Erroneous Impression as to License
There seems to be an impressiO
abroad that some one will call on tn
dog owners to sell the license. Thi
is an error. The obligation is on tn
dog owner to procure the license froi
one of the authorized agencies. II
Wardens and other officers of II
State will begin on March the first I
seize all unlicensed dogs found rul
," ming at large.
The law protects your dog by NAL
ing it personal property if you W
protect your dog by securing Il
State dog license.
