Mr. Walter A. Wilson, Town Clerk, Saugus, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I am returning herewith the by-laws of the Town of Saugus submitted by you April 30 with the action of the Attorney General noted thereon.
The town has no authority to pass a by-law of this nature in the absence of an enabling statute. The licensing and keeping of dogs is wholly controlled by statute, see General Laws Chapter 140, Sections 137 to 175. This chapter imposes a mandatory duty upon an owner or a keeper of a dog three months of age to cause it to be registered, numbered, describ- ed, licensed and collared. The power of the cities and towns is apparently limited to requiring dogs to be restrained or muzzled, see Section 167. There is no law authorizing towns to require dogs to be vaccinated against rabies as a condition precedent to obtaining a license.
Very truly yours, WALTER W. O'DONNELL,
Assistant Attorney General.

Unanimous consent was granted Fire Engineer Ernest W. Homan to offer a resolution.
"Whereas Chief Mellon R. Joy of the Saugus Fire Depart- ment died on Wednesday, July 31, 1935 as the result of in- juries received at a fire and explosion which occurred in the Public Works Department Garage on Monday, July 29, 1935;
"Therefore be it resolved that there be written into the records of this meeting a page of sorrow and regret for the untimely loss of Chief Joy, and in memory of the man who gave 49 years of his life in the Fire Departments of Boston and Saugus. We deeply regret that this unexpected and un- foreseen accident prevented the fulfillment of Chief Joy's ambition which was to serve 50 years as a fireman.
"Chief Joy's code of life was a rigid one, he was exacting in discipline, and in the enforcement of fire laws, yet respected

by all. He was a man of courage, never hesitating to be the first one in at a fire, and it was this characteristic that brought about the circumstance that caused his death. That he stood high in the Organization of Fire Chiefs of New England, was attested to by the great number of Fire Chiefs from all over New England who attended his funeral.
"Chief Mellon R. Joy was a trustworthy, honorable man.
"His life and character will always be an enduring example of a good Fireman.
"Well done good and faithful servant.
