—- STATE MEN MAKE CRUSADE AGAINST UNLICENSED DOGS Investigations in County Result in Many Arrests; Violators ¢ Assessed Fines. Representatives of the Bureau OI of Animal Industry, Pennsylvania De- partment of Agricultural, working un- der the supervision of Field Agent A. C. Ackerman, of Altoona, are now busily engaged in the south of Cam- bria county in search of violators the State Dog Law. As a result of th investigations a number of presecutions have already been made and fines ana costs assessed against the owners of unlicensed dogs and dogs not prope tagged. Field Agent Ackerman stat that the crusade against violators Of the dog law will continue for several days in hope of rounding up the ma- jority of violators. The State agents in one atfernoon made 35 arrests in Johnstown and each violator of the dog law paid a fine and costs. Field Agent Ackerman has esti- mated that there are in the neighbor- hood of 3,000 dogs in the city without a license tag and not properly tagged. A majority of the dogs picked up during the campaign are between the age of six months and one year, Mr. Ackerman stated, and it is required by law that a dog six months old or over must be licensed. In some instance the investigator found violations of owners using a license issued for a male dog on a female dog. There are \ also some violations by dog owners for use of tags issued for other dogs and also tags issued to other persons. Investigations have also been con- ducted by the State agents in different sections of Cambria county as to stock damage claims, due to dogs having killed sheep, turkeys and chickens. A large sum of money has been paid out by the State in settlement of these damage claims. It is the aim of the Bureau of Ani- mal Industry to get dog Owners tw have their dogs licensed and properly tagged as a means of identification, s0 that if a dog is killed while destroying livestock that identification is easily obtained. Proper identification of the destructive dog would mean a big sav- ing to the State, as the owner of the og would be required to make settle- ment of any damage claim. The State department is also advo- cating better bred dogs and by saving of dramage claims this money could b applied to dog shows and field tr 5 The bureau also endeavors to whatever aid to hunters in case of a hunting dog being stolen or poisoned. To date there are 13,162 dogs licen- sed in Cambria County, Agent Acker- man reported. During the past six months a total of 600 prosecutions were made against violators of the dog law in this county. Violators not only must pay a fine and a license fee for 1930, but will be required to obtain a new license for their dogs for 1931 before January 15 next. i RE RICHARD P.
