of the town or the clerk of the village in which he resides the 

 registration fee j^i'escribed by such resolution; and every person 

 who shall thereafter acquire or harbor such a dog for which such 

 registration fee has not been paid shall pay such fee within ten 

 days after acquiring or harboring the same. A fee so paid shall 

 entitle such dog to registration until the thirty-first day of De- 

 cend)cr following such payment ; and thereafter on or before the 

 tenth day of January in each year a like fee shall be paid by a 

 person owning or harboring such dog. T^pon the receipt thereof, 

 the town or village clerk, as the case may be, shall enter in a 

 book kept for that purpose the name of such o^vller or person, a 

 description of such dog, and the date of the pa;)anent of the regis- 

 tration fee; and shall furnish for the use of such dog a suitable 

 metallic tag stamped with the year of issuance and with a number 

 corresponding with the registration number of such dog. Such 

 tag shall be worn by such dog at all times during the year for 

 which the registration fee shall be so paid. The town or village 

 clerk, as the case may be, shall furnish a duplicate of such tag, 

 whenever the same shall be lost, upon payment of the cost thereof. 

 The expense of procuring such tags shall be paid in the same 

 manner as other town or village charges, respectively, from the 

 moneys received from the registration fees. The term " dog," as 

 used in sections one hundred and twenty-eight to one hundred and 

 thirty-six, both inclusive, of this article, includes bitch. 



§ 130. Duties of assessors. The assessors of each town in such 

 county shall annually, at the time of the completion of their 

 assessment-rolls as provided by law, make a list containing the 

 name of every person resident within their town lial)le to pay a 

 registration fee for dogs as provided by section one hundred and 

 twenty-nine of this article, together with the number of dogs 

 owned or harbored l\v such ]icrson, and forthwith deliver such list 

 signed hx them to the town clerk. 



If a resolution of the board of supervisors is separately in force 

 in any village providing for a registration of dogs therein, then 

 the assessors or assessing officers of such village shall in like man- 

 ner file with the village clerk a like list of the dogs owned or har- 

 bored by the residents thereof.
