This year I licensed 51 dogs more than were reported to me by the Assessors. Some of these were looked up by myself from old licenses, some were new comers after the 1st of May, and others were found by the police, who aided very much in looking up delinquents and unreported and unlicensed dogs.
STATUTE LAWS FOR THE LICENSING OF DOGS
Sec. 128. The owner or keeper of a dog which is three months old or over shall annually on or before the 30th day of April cause it to be registered, numbered, described and licensed
61
for one year from the first day of May following in the office of the Clerk of the city or town in which said dog is kept. The owner or keeper of a licensed dog shall cause it to wear around its neck a collar distinctly marked with its owner's name and its registered number.
Sec. 129. The owner or keeper of a dog may at any time have it licensed until the first day of May following; and a person who becomes the owner or keeper of a dog after the first day of May which is not duly licensed, and the owner or keeper of a dog not duly licensed which becomes three months old after the 30th day of April in any year, shall when it is three months old cause it to be registered, numbered, described, licensed and collared as pro- vided in the preceding section.
Sec. 130. The fee for every license shall be two dollars for a male dog and five dollars for a female dog, unless a certificate of a competent person who performed the operation has been filed with the City or Town Clerk that said female dog has been spayed and has thereby been deprived of the power of propagation, in which case the fee shall be two dollars.
Sec. 136. A license duly recorded shall be valid throughout the Commonwealth and may be transferred with the dog licensed thereunder, but it shall in each case of transfer be again recorded by the Clerk of the city or town in which said dog is kept. No license shall be required to be recorded anew unless the dog shall have been kept in such city or town at least 30 days.
Sec. 137. Whoever keeps a dog contrary to the provisions of this Chapter shall, except as provided in Section 139, forfeit not more than fifteen dollars, which shall be paid to the Treasurer of the county in which the dog is kept.
Sec. 138. No person shall keep or have in his care or posses- sion any bloodhound, or any dog classed by dog fanciers or breeders as Cuban Bloodhound, Siberian Bloodhound, German Mastiff or Great Dane, Boarhound or Ulmer dog, whether said dog is in whole or in part of said species, unless such dog is kept solely for exhibi-
62
tion. In such case he shall at all times be kept securely enclosed or chained, and shall not be allowed at large, even though in charge of a keeper, unless properly and securely muzzled.
Sec. 139. Whoever keeps a dog described in the preceding section in violation of the provisions thereof shall be fined fifty dol- lars, ten dollars of which shall be paid to the complainant and forty dollars to the Treasurer of the County in which said dog is kept.

REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Reading :
Your Board of Selectmen herewith submit the following report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1907 :
The many questions which have arisen for discussion and decision before this Board this year have been given close attention and the decisions rendered have apparently been of a nature satisfactory to the majority of our citizens.
We have always tried to make it clear to any and all citizens who have complaints to make, or suggestions and ad- vice to offer, that we are ready to listen, discuss and act when it seems necessary.
We have received from various organizations and citizens, as we have met them, endorsements of many of our actions, and to those organizations and citizens we wish to express our thanks. There is one thing certain, that if you believe your officials are doing effective work, the best way to get better work is to commend them for their efforts. No service can be made permanently better than that which will be sustained by the best average sentiment of the community.
The several departments reporting directly to this Board have done commendable work.
In the department of streets, besides the usual routine work of cleaning the gutters and catch basins, re-shaping streets, keeping the Square and streets in center clean, and small repairs, we have done a considerable amount of gravel
67
grading in places where it was badly needed. There was built on Prescott st. a macadam road for a distance of about 500 feet beginning at Washington st. and running westerly. This is a great improvement to the street, which at certain periods of the year has not been pleasant to travel over. It became evident this fall that it would be a benefit to extend this macadam about fifty feet and this will undoubtedly be done early next season. Salem st. has been macadamized from Harnden st. running in an easterly direction a distance of about 2,057 feet. This was done under the direction of the State Highway Commission. The Commission, upon applica- tion of this Board, allotted to the Town the sum of $1132, which was to cover one-half of the expense of building this piece of road. The total cost was $2370. All plans, grades and the services of an engineer to supervise the work were furnished by the Commission. With the same appropriation next year we will be able to continue the work and will with- out doubt receive the same assistance from the State as this year.
