City Rabies Control Program Set To Start
City Meethan prepares a rabies control plan with a near finished dog pound and a stray dog pickup truck. Street Department Head J D Parramore says seven pens doors remain to be installed and a runway filled, with the pound ready once doors go on. Rabies Control Director Hugh Johnson notes the truck body is being fitted and stray dog pickups will begin once done. A recent mad dog attack led to citywide inoculations of several hundred dogs. The pound sits near the sewerage plant on the city’s western edge.
