smaller cost to dog owners if such request should be allowed.

of vaccinating the dogs in -the County and pointed out that in his opinion the
vaccine could be administered at a cost of approximately fifty cents per dog -
in the event he and his assistant should be authorized to administer the, vaccine.

the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
