RCMP confirmed this week they will enforce collection of dog license fees, which will be paid over to the provincial government. The rate is $1 for male dogs; $2 for females.

There is no difference in the rate if the animal has been spayed or neutered. The police recently received a shipment of dog tags ready to issue to dog-owners from their office. In the city, the council issues dog tags and collects the revenue. In recent years, township council has avoided getting into the dog tag business because, if it did, it would be liable for claims under the Sheep Protection Act.

Says the statement: "This order has been given careful consideration by your board of directors.

Based on all of the information in the hands of the board, it is our considered opinion that the association should comply with the provisions of the Order for the following reasons: "The Milk Industry Act, 1956, has been a great stabilizing factor in the production and marketing of milk of the area. For the future interests of the industry, the act and its provisions must be maintained. "We believe that the Milk Board has issued this order only after thorough study of all factors bearing on the economic stability of the market. "From our own knowledge of the market for milk as a whole, we strongly believe that the longterm interests of the industry, including the producer, will be best served by compliance with Order No. 27." such as Langley, to see what benefits have been derived.
