Mir II, 10 Dog Control Measures Will Be iOn Ballot In City and County Opponents o og control in the city ol Meoiord will hav. jto defeat two measures on ;the primary ballot next Fri day if dogs are going to con tinue to run at large within She city limits. J One of these measure la for c?"ntv.wide dog control and 'will be voiU by voters in jthe entire county, "iiw "her "measure will be for Medford lonly, and voted on only by ."city voters. J Should opponents of dog .control defeat the measure for ."the city only, and the county Vide measure should pass, the Tcity would still have dog con trol. ; However, if dog control op 5nents In the county should .defeat the county-wide meas ure and the city measure "should pass, then Medford on ly would have dog control. 'Other Elections . The city of Rogue River will vote on its own dog con trol measure in the primary Us will county precincts at Iadrona lane and the Oak Grove section. Jacksonville will vote on a similar measure In the general election. - The same double opportune ty for dog control measures .to pass applies to these areas, too. - In all cases on the county ballot the measure will read: "For dogs running at large- Yes, For dogs running at large -No. This wording is provid ed for by state law. In each case where the measure should pass, the county is given the primary responsibility of enforcing and implementing the law, ac cording to Gerald J. Scannell Jr., chief deputy district attor ney for Jackson county. The entire procedure for enforcement and penalties for violation are provided for by state law. Fines Noted If any of the measures pass, the county clerk must give notice in a newspaper for three consecutive weeks. Aft er 80 days from the date of notice, when any dog Is found running at large in the city, Wand-Slim Sheath (jmS county or precinct, the owner lb subjected to a fine of $10 for the first offense and $23 for each subsequent offense. These penalties shall be col lected in the name of the state of Oregon, meaning that violations would be handled in district court not in munici pal courts, according to Med ford City Attorney Joel Reed t. State ia- :vs that the pen alties shall be paid into the county treasury of the county in which the precinct or city is situated and kept in a spe cial fund. It further says that five days notice shall be given to the dog owner before he will be cited into court for a vio lation. What Law Means What the dog control law means is stated in the ORS as follows: "No dog shall run at large or off of the premises of the owner or keeper thereof un less it has a shepherd's muz zle made of wire and metal and properly fastened around his nose and neck sufficiently strong to prevent him from biting or injuring any person, or any sheep, goat or other livestock or domestic animal. "When any dog is found running at large, every chief of police, constable, sheriff or deputy of either . . . shall im pound it." This does "not ap ply to herdsmen using dogs for legitimate protection of his flock." "All dogs impounded shall be held in a . . . pound to be provided by the county court out of funds obtained from dog licenses and from the re demption of dogs so Impounded. "Any dogs so impounded shall be held for at least five days from date of impounding before being . . . humanely de stroyed or otherwise disposed of." It adds that an owner re deeming his dog shall pay $1 and the expense of keeping the dog during the time it was impounded. May Be Given Awav The statutes provide that If no owner should appear to claim a dog, it can be given to a responsible person Instead of killed. It is further provided that all funds collected shall be turned over to the county treasurer who shall keep th.m in a special fund, from which various costs of enforcement shall be paid. Any money in this fund in excess of $1,000 on Jan. 1 of each year shall be placed in the general fund of the county- Reader says that apparently the city's only responsibility, If the law is made effective in Medford, would be to enforce it. He said the city council could probably pass an ordi nance to help implement the law if it so desired. Problem In City Medford Police Chief Charles P. Champlin says the only problem from the city's standpoint that he sees, would be that of enforcement. It would probably mean, he said, that officers would be spend ing more time tracking down dog complaints, catching dogs and transporting them to the county pound when they are found to be in violation of the law. City Manager Robert A. Duff points out that there might be some monetary pro vision for enforcement in the 1960-1861 budget if the meas ure should pass. He said it Is possible that tnn city might even hire an additional man to help in enforcing the dog control law. In any case, city officials express the opinion that if the measure should pass, the problems In enforcing it should not be too great to be solved. 1 : j. j-. Y S mm St , 4 I SPEECH KIDNAPED Greenville, N.C. - (ITT - Dr. Leo Jenkins, reading from the text of his Inaugural address as president of East Carolina college before an audience of 10,000 Friday, suddenly found he was making no sense. One of his six children had swiped page 8. People Cautioned About Bargains Through U.S. Mail Residents in the Rogue val ley area have been cautioned by Medford Chamber of Com merce Manager Don McNeil to beware of proposals through the mail offering mer chandise at bargain rates. "A good example of this," McNeil said, "is the bargain paint operation. The unsus pecting individual receives a letter from a paint company suggesting that a number of gallons of good quality paint is warehoused in the area for which the company is willing to accept a low rate per gallon. "One of these is the Nation al Titanium company. This firm usually offers by letter the bargain rate of $2.75 a gallon for genuine exterior white paint 'guaranteed for years of outdoor exposure.' ' Laboratory Tests "According to a Portland Better Business bureau re port, Aug. 25, 1959." McNeil said, "laboratory tests in Kan sas City showed this paint averaged 21.5 per cent water. Federal specifications for ex terior oil paints for use by government agencies allow a maximum of 1 per cent wa ter," the chamber manager said. "Jacob C. Swimmer, head of the National Titanium com pany, died, according to a bu reau report, in February, 1959. Nevertheless, the firm has continued to mail letters offering it-' bargain rate on paint to citizens throughout the country. 'As a result of his death, the Federal Trade commls- : sion is reported to have issued an order dismiss'"g the false advertising charges against Swimmer, an individual trad Ing as the National Titanium company, McNeil said. Letters are reported to have been received in this area from the company which con tinues to operate on appar ently what appears to be the same basis as before, McNeil said. A Better Business bu reau report May 10 calls at tention to the fact that Port land concerns are also receiv ing similar letters. The bulle tin goes on to caution busi ness firms that 'laboratory tests found It to be 20 per cent water," McNeil concluded.
