Danbury, N. C., Wednesday, Jan. 4, 1922 CLAIM IS FILED AGAINST COUNTY For Expense Of Son Of J. M. Venable, Who Was Bitten By Mad dog Recently. Mr. «J. M. Venable, of Quaker (jap township, Hied a claim against the county here Mondav for $119.50 to cover expense incurred by him in having his son. Peter Venable, treated for hy drophobia, the young man having recently been bitten by a rabid dog alleged to belong to Robert Sisk. of Quaker Gap township. Young Venable took the Pasteur treatment in Raleigh. The county commissioners at their meeting Monday appointed ; three free holders S.M. Gordon, 'J. M. Mitchell and John P. Law i son —to investigate the case and .report to the tbard as early as ! possible. In the action taken as stated above both Mr. Venable and the i I county commissioners are acting ! within the law in regard to the case, which provides that the county commissioners shall pay all damages done by dogs in the county and that they collect from the owner of the dog any amounts i mid out, including all expenses . incurred. 1 I Many Cars Without Shite License Tags it is not uncommon recently to hear owners of automobiles v ho have paid the State license ta.\ tin tin ir cars IctiV; that they do not expect to buy new license July Ist. These declara tions come from the fact that si many car owners are being al lowed to operate their cars with out license from the State. It i.i the contention of these kick ers that the State is not giving them a square deal by announ cing from time to time that all car owners nuis; have licenst and inducing them to buy and then allowing a good per cent, of the people to get by without buying license. The license dodger.is geting more plentiful every year, and dispatches sent out to the papets from Kaleigh a few days since anno. mcid that the Secretary of State estima ted that about car. were without license in North Caro lina. They are common on every highway. It is a fact that mi less these m.onii iiwiiei's are re quired to pay up before July Ist the next year will see an even greater number of ears opera ting without license. | !
