Dr. Xorgaard was invited to explain his proposition to quaran- 

 tine dogs imported into the Territory on account of danger of 

 rabies. Dr. Norgaard went over the matter covered by his report. 



IMr. von Holt favored acting at once in accordance with the 

 recommendations of the report. Mr. Isenberg and Mr. Dowsett 

 stated that they had received their copies of the report too late to 

 give proper attention and suggested that the matter go over until 

 it could be carefully considered and in the meantime it be thor- 

 oughly threshed out by the newspapers in order to get an ex- 

 pression of public opinion. 



It was voted unanimously that action on the proposition l)e 

 deferred to a special meeting on December 18.
