424 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Off. Doc. 



Second, to accomplish the registry, we would recommend that the 

 first registry sliail be made by the assessor when he makes his fall 

 assessment by registering all clogs, to take a short description of the 

 animal and issue tag or collar with number, after the owner has 

 I)aid the fee of .'p2.UU for each dog so registered, which shall be paid 

 to the assessor at that time or the tag refused, and after the time 

 of the assessor making his returns, it will be the duty of the con- 

 stable to destroy all dogs not registered, and be paid for this duty 

 .^2.00 and mileage for each dog killed and buried, and when making 

 his reports to the Court, he shall also state that he has complied with 

 the instructions of the Dog Law iu killing all dogs not registered. 



Third, as to the disposition of this tax, we recommend that this 

 shall be left iu the hands of the commissioners of each county as 

 to what it shall be applied to. 



All laws that would interfere iu tEfe carrying out legislation of this 

 kind slmll be repealed.

The CHAIRMAN: What shall be done with this report? 



On motion, duly seconded, the same was received and adopted. 



MR, NORTON: Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: If you 

 are ready to adjourn, we will be ready to start the milking machine 

 at half past eleven. We will operate it again from four to half past 

 four this afternoon, and from ten to half past ten this evening. Now, 

 we will probably be crowded for space, and if you can't all get there 

 at this time, we will be glad to see you there later. 



The SECRETARY: The election of officers was to take place at 

 this time, but it is for the Board to decide whether they want to 

 postpone it, or proceed with the election now. 



On motion, duly seconded, it was agreed to proceed with the elec- 

 tion of officers at once. 



The CHAIRMAN: Before proceeding with the election of offi- 

 cers, we should dispose of Prof. Hunt's paper. I should like to hear 

 a motion in regard to it. 



MR. HERR: I move that the paper be received and published 

 with the proceedings of the Board. 



This motion was duly seconded and agreed to. 



The CHAIRMAN: We will now proceed with 'the election of offi- 

 cers. I shall be pleased to receive nominations. The first iu order, 

 I believe, is nominations for vice presidents. 



MR. SCHWARZ: I nominate Mr. Fenstermaker. 



MR. McHENRY: I wish to place in nomination the name of one 

 of our oldest members, Joel A. Herr, 



A Member: I nominate Mr, M. N. Clark. 



MR, CLARK: I think you had better take my name off the list, 

 I may not be able to serve, and therefore ask to withdraw my 

 name.
