o o Enforcement Agencies Are Unprepared for Dog Control When the county-wide dog control law goes, into effect Aug. 30, it appears that it will catch most affected agencies in Jackson county almost totally unprepared to enforce its provisions. Although the agencies have had plenty of time to prepare for enforcement of the law (since the May primary elec tion) it would seem that few of them, if any, have given it much thought. It is quite possible that they will just pretend there Is no law at all. Under a state statute re Karding dog control, adopted or this county at the primary election, no dog will be al lowed to run at large unless it is muzzled. All dogs found running at large shall be picked up by the nearest law enforcement officer and con fined in the county dog pound. Fines Provided Fines of $10 and $20 are provided for dog owners who allow their dogs to run at large. Primary jurisdication over the law is given to the county. However, all law enforcement agencies will be responsible Dog control petitions have been submitted from four precincts, the county elections department said Friday. Petitions include the Tal ent, Ruch and' Applegate areas and total about 95 verified signatures, it was reported. Three other petitions for placing a dog control mea sure on the November gen eral election ballot have been submitted, but they were not notorized as re quired by law, it was explained. for apprehending at - large dogs, according to slate law. In the county government Itself, the Jackson county dog control board has been given primary jurisdiction over en forcement. But, the board has yet to adopt any enforcement poli cy. County Com mitiioner Ralph James, who represents the county court on the dog control board, said all there has been so far Is -"13115:." There hasn't been any pro gram for enforcement set up, he said, and "they (the board) don't even know if it (the ordinance) will slay In or not." ...... This, would seem to be a valid doubt as there have been many complaints from persons who say they did not know what they were voting for when they approved the law. Six petitions asking for a revole on the law have been received by the county clerk and there are reports of many more being circulated throughout the county. Commissioner James is of the personal opinion that the law "won't be workable in the .county." He said further that he doesn't believe people ia the county "knew how they were voting" and many are "dissatsified." He added that it might work all right in cities. Neither the city nor the county has made any budget provisions for enforcing the law, although the law was ap proved prior to adoption of the final 1960-61 budget in both caes. No Preparations Not one new man has been hired, nor has one new piece of equipment been purchased, nor has as much as one addi tional dollar been allocated for the express purpose of enforcing the dog control law. But Commissioner James and others do not seem to feel that there will be any extra costs incurred because of the ordinance. James says the county dog pound now disposes of from 125 to 200 dogs a month and he does not believe that this amount will increase any with the advent of the new ordinance. He adds that the county dog pop ulation has decreased during the past few years. Neither does James feel that there will be any great enforcement problems. Most people who like and have dogs, he said, will obey the law when it goes into effect. Others seem to feci as James does, or they have washed their hands of the matter altogether. Biggest Headaches This apparent tendency to ignore the law is especially prevalent among members of Medford's city administration. And the city will undoubtedly have one of the biggest head aches in enforcing 1l:e law. Medlord Police Chief Charles P. Champlin said that he has not been informed what the police department's A Electric SPECIAL Hot Pot $288 Reg. $3.95 "Brewmaster" Ceramic HOT POT for instant coffee, lea or chocolate.

HARRANG Appointed to Position Ag Representative Appointed in Bank The appointment of Arnold K. Harrang as agricultural representative in the south west area of the state for First National Bank of Ore gon has been announced by C. B. Stephenson, president. He will maintain his head quarters at Medford, covering Medford, Ashland, Central Point, Grants Pass, Coos Bay, Gold Beach, Port Orford, North Bend and Coquille areas. Harrang was horn in Sweet Home, is a graduate of Ore gon State college and a prac tical agriculturist who has been cited several times for his successful farming meth ods. He was chosen Linn coun ty livestock Man-oMhe-Year in 1955 and was honored again in 1957 by being select ed Linn County Grassman-of-the-Year. Prior to 1953 when he began operating his own farm, Harrang served with the Farm Security adminis tration of the department of agriculture and was an agri cultural instructor in Albany under the Veterans adminis tration training program. In his new post with the bank, Harrang will be avail able for consultation with farmers, the bank president said. Medford Tribune SECTION B MEDFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY, AUGUST 7, 1960 PAGES 1 tu 8 responsibilities will be under the law. "As far as I know." he said, "the only responsibility of police officers will be to transport at-large dogs from within the city to the county dog pound." Champlin was not sure of just how this will be dune, but said offieens probably will have to place the dogs in their patrol .cars when transporting them. Any policy that the police department might lake to ward the new law would nec essarily have to come from the city administration. Wailing to See Both City Manager Robert j A. Duff and City Attorney I Joel Reedcr do not anticipate I any definite action being tak- ; en by the city in the near fit- i ture. Duff said the city is j waiting to see what the coun- ty does and what problems the county might have before . taking any action. In the county, Sheriff Joe . Walsh said that his office will ! have very little, if anything, , to do with enforcing the ordi- ; nance. If the sheriff's depart ment receives a call of a dog running at large, he said, they will refer the caller to the dog control department and that will be it. The dog control depart- ; ment could hardly be called i a large department. They ! have three full-time employ- ! ees, including County Dog . Control Officer Chris Hagler, ; and one part-time employee. : In addition they have one : county - owned pickup truck i and Hagler gels mileage on ; his own vehicle when he uses it on county business. , It would appear from talk- ; ing to most local officials that they are not taking the new law too seriously and do not anticipate any problems in en forcing it. No Action Taken On Liquor Request No further action has beer, taken yet on an application of Alaskan's Cafe and Tav ern at Wimer to sell liquor by the glass, according to County Commissioner Chester Wendt. The county court is making further investigation of the matter, he said. A hearing was held Wednes day on the application of "Woody" Owings, Wimer, to secure the license. Owings, owner of the cafe, told the court he wishes to en large his business. He present ed the court a petition signed by 49 persons favoring the change from serving only beer to liquor. The Rev. Honry R. Holsing er, Wimer Community church pastor, presented a petition against the request which was signed by 64 persons. In other Dustiness Friday, the count ycourt approved the application of Hunter's tavern to sell wine off the premises. This is similar to arrange ments by grocery stores which sell wine to be consumed off the premises, il- was explained. Average weekly earnings for crude oil and natural gas production workers in 1959 was S 114.
