spondence with Governor Pinkham every effort is being made to 

 discredit or belittle the importance of the dog quarantine witlr a 

 view to its abolition or at least modification to quarantine on the 

 premises. So long as this feeling prevails it is necessary that 

 every possible step be taken to guard the animals while in quaran- 

 tine and it has been found necessary of late to have a man sle^p 

 in the dog enclosure every night. 



That rabies is in no way abating on the mainland will be seen 

 from the accompanying copy of the Hayward Journal (Califor- 

 nia) under the heading, "Mad Dog Bites Six People" (Jan. 27, 

 1914), and which is only one of many similar cases which have 

 been reported to me recentl}^ The dog in question bit not less 

 than twenty other dogs and as a number of these undoubtedly 

 were strays or ownerless dogs that will not be apprehended, some 

 of them will in due time develop the disease and repeat the per- 

 formance of the dog in Hayward. From the graphic description 

 of this one outbreak it may easily be imagined what the introduc- 

 tion of a single infected dog into this community might mean.
