Is There a Dog Tax For Sny der County ? The Attorney General Says "No." To settle a dispute we wrote to Win. K. Miller, of the State Library, llarrisburg, on Tuesday, to inter view the Attorney General of Penn sylvania on the dog question for the benefit of the leaders of the Post. The following is his reply in full : II WlCIsnt'KU, Pa., Al'KIL'J, l'.Ni. T. H. llximii. Sir: In reply to yours of yesterday I have to say that the Attorney Gen eral is of the opinion that there is no general State tax upon doys, but that only local tn laws atVicting dogs in certain counties, are in force in the State of I'ciniM lvania. I'nder these local statutes, he add", there is no provision coiicei ning the age. of the dog, and literally an aitimid known as n pup is not subject to taxation. That encumbrance visits him after arriving to the full stature of grown-up dogship. The tax is 'J." cents for every dog, ,1 for every second, and l?J for every third dog. This applying to certain counties only and there is not, according to the Attorney Geuertd, a tax law for Snyder county. Yours very truly, Wm. K. Miller.
