location tor the Washington aump, sters. Turning to other business, the Supervisors refused to pay dog fund claims for Fred Welty and J.W. Fletcher. Dog Warden Jack Bruce said he wasn’t sure that either calf kill had been made by a dog. Welty’s calf might have been born dead, Bruce said. He could tell it was at the site where it was born, though it was cut up. “But the cow had gone on back with the herd.” The Fletcher calf might have also been born dead, Bruce said. “Though when I got there it was torn to rags. I just can’t tell on these cases. But this was just a baby calf; it’s feet were soft as can be.”
The Supervisors agreed not to pay the claims, since their policy is to follow Bruce’s advice and he wasn’t convinced dogS had made the kills.
BRUCE told the Supervisors that the deadline for buying dog tags is the end of the month. With their permission, he’d like to “run a few ads.” The Supervisors told him to go ahead.
Pete Luke said the county needs to think about finding a place to dispose of the stray dogs that Bruce kills. Bruce said he’s been throwing the dead dogs in his back field. “This year I’ve picked up 184 dogs and I expect 164 of them are over in my back field.” The smell is “enough to gag a maggot” in hot weather, Bruce said.
