HARRY W. NICE, GOVERNOR. 471

corresponding metal tags, dog census books, affidavit forms,
etc., in sufficient quantity to cover all requirements for the
following year.

Certificates shall be serially numbered in books of 100 each
with duplicate stubs both of which shall provide spaces in
which shall be recorded the following data:

Election district, full name of owner, home address with
street and house number, or rural route and box number, name
of dog, sex, breed, age, color and markings.

Certificates shall be kept by the owner for exhibit to the
Warden or his agents on demand and any alteration of the
entries on the same is subject to penalty as hereinafter pro-
vided.

Individual license certificates and their accompanying tags
attached to the dog for which issued, and unless surrendered
to the County Treasurer, pass with the dog upon its change
of ownership but in order to constitute an official record of
such new ownership, the original certificate and its accom-

issuance of a duplicate license and tag at a cost of Twenty-
five Cents (25c); the surrendered certificate and tag being at-
tached to the stub of the new certificate and the new certificate
and its stub being marked, "Change of Ownership. "

The books of certificate stubs retained by the Treasurer shall

make identification reasonably certain; and it shall be unlaw-

intent for any person to take out a license for a dog in any
other name than that of its owner.

256F. LICENSE TAGS. The County Commissioners shall
prescribe and furnish annually to the County Treasurer to

herein provided. Such tags shall be of different shape each
year, not over one inch in size and on one side shall bear the
name of the County, number of the corresponding certificate,
the words, "Dog License, " and the year of issue underneath.

Only one tag shall be issued for one individual or one
kennel license and no tag shall ever be transferred from one
dog to another dog or from one kennel to another kennel.
Should any lost tag for which a duplicate has been issued,
as herein provided, be found, it shall be unlawful and con-

other person to use such tag on any dog and punishable as
hereinafter provided. Any person falsely making declaration
in order to secure a duplicate tag at reduced price and thus
to defraud the County shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
