DOGS ORDINANCE.

Owing to the prevalence of rabies in the Colony the muzzling order continued in force throughout the Year. A further vigorous dog-shooting campaign necessitated by the large number of apparently ownerless and unmuzzled dogs found roaming at large about the Colony resulted in the destruction of 1,216 dogs as compared with 1,872 in 1926 when the anti-rabies campaign started:
