Whit- tlesey sent out Friday, circulars to the selectment of the 109 towns in the state, covered by his blanket quaran- tine order for dogs as follows: “The infectious disease known as rabies hLas been epidemic in western Connecticut, resulting since Janu- ary 1, 1917, in_the killing of a large number of infected dogs. Approxi- mately one hundred persons .have been bitten by rabid dogs, necessitat- inw pasteur treatment, and three human lives- have been lost by this terrible disease. “In view of these facts, it is evi- dent that the quarantinging and muz- zling of all dogs in separate towns has not prevented the spread of this disease. It is clearly necessary to take more drastic action. “Therefore, on order has been printed, requiring that all dogs found at large in all of the towns west of the Connecticut réver, with- out collar and license tag attached. shall be considered stray dogs, and shall be killed by the dog wardens, and all dogs wearing collar and license tag attached. found at large shall be impounded by the dog warden and killed if the same is not redeemed as provdied by chapter 121 of the public acts of 1911. “If your dog is not registered, or if he is registered but has no collar with license tag attached, and you wish to save hig life, see vour town clesk at once and secure a dog tag, and then keep your dog quarantined in close convnement, or securely chained on leash, as no dog will be al- lowed to go at large, except as noted in the order, a copy of which has been mailed to your town -clerk. “In pursuance of authority _given in section 4, chapter 296 of the public_acts of 1917. a special deputy from this office will visit the several towns ment%oned in the quarantine order, and require a strict enforce- ment of the same.
