DAVIS WENT on to explain that Rappahannock County has no law against dogs running at large. He said that a person injured could sue for damages, however.
The Board asked Davis to prepare a dog ordinance and send copies to each Board member. There will have to be a public hearing, it was explained, and will probably be June before such a law can be passed.
“It will take time, but we will pursue it,’’ said Chairman Miller.
Mrs. Rayner V. Snead, who attended the meeting to present a claim for three lambs killed by dogs, said, “the dogs ought to pay for the damage.”
Mrs. Snead was allowed $20 for her lambs, and $40 was allowed for a day-old calf killed by dogs.
OPENING the annual hearing on secondary roads in the county, Resident Highway Engineer D. E. Askew explained that there are 221 miles of secondary roads, and about onethird have been hard surfaced, although some are not improved.
He said there is a limited budget for road improvement, but that his philosophy is that “you can improve any road, given time and right of way.”
Starting with Chairman Miller’s Hampton District, Nancy McCoy and Jack deBergh said improvements were necessary on Route 622, and Capt. Tuma “made a pitch” for improvements to a stretch of 621.
E.C. Jenkins said a sharp curve needed to be fixed on Route 626. Mrs. Lester Burk sent word that an entrance to Route 211 at the old post office in Washington, should be taken care of.
