Arlington Selectmen Decline Dog Constable Appointment
Arlington selectmen decided not to appoint a dog constable this year. Archie Hess served in 1964 and had licensed most dogs, but three owners refused rabies treatment to qualify for licenses. The matter moves to legal channels as the state attorney suggested grand jury action. The town awaits a legal solution while planning a bridge contract and naming a nine member planning advisory group.
