Board Galls For Bond Issue
Only Ten Per Cent
Of Dogs Wear Tags
On Their Collars
Not more than 10 per cent
of the dogs in Warren County
are wearing collars bearing
vaccination tags as required by
the laws of North Carolina.
This is the estimate given
the Board of County Commis
sioners on Monday by Robert
Stegall, County Dog Warden.
The commissioners agreed
with the figure.
Stegall was before the board
to discuss with the commis
sioners the problem of stray
dogs in the towns of the coun
ty, and in answer to a few
specific complaints. During j
the discussion, Stegall stated i
that few dogs are wearing col- j
lars, and indicated that no ef- j
fort is being made to enforce
the dog law in this respect.
Why the law is not enforced ,
was not stated by Stegall or j
questioned by the commission
ers.
The roof of the Armory is
again leaking. First Lieutenant!
Carson Pridgen appeared be-!
fore the board to ask that the j
roof be repaired. The leak, he
said, is causing damage to uni- j
forms and other materials j
and firearms stored in the;
building. The commissioners
instructed Clerk S. E. Allen to
contact a roofing repair con-1
tractor for estimate as to the
costs of the repairs.
In other action, the commis
sioners ordered that the beer
license of Harvey Debnam be
reinstated if he pays up all
back dues.
S. E. Allen, Register of
Deeds, reported 61 marriage
licenses issued for the second
quarter of 1962 for which
$305.00 was turned into the
General Fund.
A. P. Rodwell, Jr., tax col
lector, reported taxes collected
to date in the amount of $399,
229.95. Of this amount $1,
571.27 was collected in June.
It was ordered that an ap
propriation be made for school
purposes in anticipation of in
coming 1962-63 taxes in the
amount of $20,000 for current
expenses and $10,000 for capi
tal outlay.
An appropriation resolutiop
to provide funds for county
purposes * pending the adoption
of the 1962-63 budget was
adopted.

ed the expenditure of a sum
not to exceed $125.00 to be
used in the preparation of a
brochure for the county under

At Norlina
Town Board Seeks
To Curb Stray Dogs
Dogs have proved a nuisance
in towns of Warren County
and over the state in recent
months, and on Monday night
the Board of Commissioners of
Norlina decided to do some
thing about it as it affects
their town.
The board members tenta
tively adopted an ordinance
having for its purpose the cor
rection of this situation, after
a delegation of citizens ap
peared bearing a petition sign
ed by more than 100 citizens
complaining of the dog nuis
ance and asking for relief.
The ordinance, summarized,
makes it unlawful for any own
er to permit his or her Cog
to run at large off the prem
ises of the owner and not un
der the control of the owner
either by cord or leash. All
dogs kept in Norlina should be
licensed and any dog in the
town found to be running at
large in violation of the ordl
ance is to be impounded and
the owner thereof given no
tice. The owners will have
three days in which to claim
the dog.
The ordinance also has a
provision to preventing the
maintaining of dogs who con
stantly baric night and day dis
turbing the neighbors, and re
quires the vaccination of all
dogs for rabies.
This ordinance was adopted
tentatively for the reason that
it will be necessary for the
Town to construct a dog
pound to impound all stray
dogs under the ordinance. As
soon as facilities are complet
ed for the handling of the im
pounding of stray dogs it is
believed that the ordinance |
will be adopted permanently
