The insurance on the township
roads was renewed with Contin-
ental Casualty Co. through J. E.
Howard as agent and en addition-
al clause added to provide extra
protection for the township road
maintainer.
By-laws No, 6, 7 and 8 were
given three readings and were
adopted.
As a result of the extensive
damage done to flocks of sheep
in the township by dogs, it was
felt that drastic action must be
taken to prevent any further out-
breaks, and to curb any similar
situation from developing in the
fuure. It therefore was moved
that the township should pass a
by-law to require all dogs in
the township to be registered and
licensed.
It will be necessary for all
owners of dogs' to register them
with either the Treasurer or the
Clerk, on forms to be provided,
and at the same time to procure
a dog tag, at the usual price. This
dog tag will be the only tax
collected this year, as the usual
method of collecting deg tax in
the taxes will be dispensed with.
Any owner who fails to register
his dog or dogs will he liable to
a fine, and also any dog found
without a tag is liable to be im-
pounded in the usual proced-
ure, destroyed.
