Whereas on the 28th day of Oct. Inst. in the village said two persons were bitten by rabid dogs, to wit Strong Conklin and Henry Williams- -And recently in other parts of said town a number of Cattle Sheep & Hogs have been bitten, the owners to prevent the spread of the contagion have been obliged to kill them and the danger from this Canine madness has become truly alarm- ing and requires prompt and effectual measures to arrest its progress as it's probable that the loss of life the most shocking imaginable and an increasing danger and loss of property will be the inevitable consequence of its spread, We therefore recommend,
First for every person within said town owners of any animals that exhibit symptoms of madness to kill them without delay.

Resolved that any person discovering any dog running at large in this town in said months to kill them as the public safety require such an act.
