promised today by

the State Department of Health, which is charged with supervision of the new 1941 licensing law. Beginning January 2, licenses are being issued by local authorities for dogs for the ensuing calendar year. Any dog, seven months old, or which possesses a set of permanent teeth, is required to have a municipal license. The Legislature of 1941, by Chapter 161, in revising vious licensing statutes, spe that municipalities, by ordin may have a maximum fee of $2, or a minimum fee of $1, for each dog licensed. A fee of twenty-five cents will be added to the local license, which will be turned over to the State Treasurer for state control of rabies. The statute requires that licenses are to be issued during the month of January for the initial registration. Authorities in each municipality will conduct a dog census Beginning February 1. Those neglecting to obtain licenses for their dogs will be subject to a penalty of $6 to $50 for each

offense.

In addition, the law also calls for the licensing of kennels at $10 for those accommodating ten or less dogs, and $25 license fee for those accomodating more than ten dogs. Pet shops are required to pay a $10 annual license. No fee will be charged for dog shelters or pounds. Standardized forms for the licensing procedures have been issued by the state to municipal clerks, or other officials, desig- • ' by the local governing

_ licenses warded to the State Department of Health for checking purposes. Municipal forms heretofore in use will not be accepted by the State Health Department. Dr. Henry H. Bair, a veterinarian, is to ch*HPS ,/ of the state supervisobgC^Wu He has offices at Room 1004 Broad Street Bank Building, Trenton. “The Legislature of 1941 enacted the new rabies control law", said Dr. J. Lynn Mahaffey, state health director. “Its objectives are the control and eventual eradication of rabies^ in dogs, a menace to which New Jersey unfortunately has been subjected to for several years

past.

"We have extended considerable cooperation to local authorities in setting up the machinery for enforcement of the new law. If there is strict enforcement of the statute we will be a long way toward the eradication of rabies in dogs. The licensing system will be the first step in the compilation of a dog census. The elimination of the stray dog is the problem in breaking the chain of infection of rabies. Also, the HealUi Department’s veterinarian is instructed to ferret out evasions of the law, where there may be laxness on the part of local officials. The meritorious features of the law, however, lead us to the belief that there will be whole-hearted cooperation by local officials, to the end that rabies may be controlled state-wide. “Local funds from dog licenses are dedicated in the municipal treasuries for enforcement of the act locally, and the 25 cent fee for state supervision is likewise dedicated in the accounts of the State Treasurer for state control

purposes."

Change In Raid Rules Issued Chairman Audley H. F. Stephan, of the New Jersey Defense Council, announced today that after consultation with representatives of gas companies throughout- the state, the following will be the official procedure to be followed by household gas users during an air rajd. When an air raid alarm is

sounded:

Turn off stove burners that are lit, blit not the pilot light. If bombs seem to be dropping in your immediate neighborhood, turn off the main gas valve at the meter. If your home is damaged, turn off the main gas valve at the

meter.

Once the main gas valve at the meter has been turned off, for any reason, whatsoever, do not turn it on again yourself. Call your local gas company and they will send a trained man. Do not turn'off the main gas valve at the meter during socalled rehearsals of an air raid alarm or during trial blackouts. Mr. Stephan explained that these orders are based on expert advice of those best qualified to advise on how home gas service should be handled in air raids. The orders must be rigidly observed and They supersede, the State of New Jersey, any previous instructions relating to procedure to be followed during an air-raid.
