Commissioners Plan
To Enforce Dog Law

The County Commissioners took
action this week to start enforce
ment of the dog licensing law.
Actually the law has been on the
statutes for number of years and
at various times there has been an
attempt to enforce the law, but it
has never been very successful.
The presvious Board of County
Commissioners received numerous
complaints about dogs killing
sheep, chasing game and causing
other damage, and since the board
took office additional complaints
are being received daily, according
to Mrs. Virginia Fizer, clerk.
The Commissioners. in deciding
to do something about it, have
placed an order for 5000 license
tags. These tags will be available
by April Is and must be purchased
and placed on all dogs by July /.
The licenses will be effective
from July l to June 80, 1860, and
may be obtained after April Is by
making application to the county
treasurer, Joseph H. WEIGH.
Article S. section 191 specified
that the license fec for male dogs
and spaycd females is 81; for un-
spayed females, 81; and kennel
licenses $40 or $50, depending up
on the number in the kennel.
The commissioners said this
week that they planned a strict
enforcement of the law, by the
sheriff and the constables of the
county.
