Of an epidemic of rabies exists in the
city, Health Officer B. h. Robbins
recommended TO the city council
last evening that the proper steps TO
he taken TO quarantine all dogs for
It sufficient period of time so that
any incipient cases of rabies that
may possibly exist be watched and
any danger from such cases be pre-
vented. There are two known cases
among dogs OF the city and with n
possibility Of more developing, DR..
Robbins feels that public safety de-
mands a quarantine.
The council by unanimous vote
recommended that State Commits
sioner of Domestic Animals Whittle-
sey take the necessary steps to lay
a quarantine for a period OF at least
four weeks.
Two persons have been bitten al.
ready and they are receiving the
Pasteur treatment and according TO
reports are recovering. Both patients
are under the care OF DR.. William II,
Hanrahan.
Dog Warden Thomas Ryan did
not feel that II was within his
province 10 recommend a quarantine
but stated that there were a lot of
homeless dogs wandering around
the streets cf the city and felt that
some means should be found TO rid
tho city Of these undesirable ours.
Councilman Homer II. Judd. who is
the owner Of a number OF fine hunt
ing dogs, agreed that the proposed
quarantine would work as much OF Il
hardship TO him as anyone, but be-
lieved that public safety demanded
that it be done and he stated that
ho believed that it would be a means
of Kidding the city of a large quanti-
ty of the undesirable canine popula-
ton.
