Some stores have already removed these items from the shelves. Mr. Smith told the Board that our annual rabies clinic has been complicated by a new law. A rabies certificate has to be produced in order to obtain a dog license. We always had it so a license must be obtained in order to get a RABIES free rabies vaccination. CLINIC The veterinarians pushed to get this law passed. It makes it difficult for our shelter, also. We never allowed a dog to be redeemed before it had a license. And now if it has not had a rabies vaccination it cannot get a license. At 7:30 p.m. Mrs. Sanford and her husband of 9 Alcott Road, Lexington, WOODBURNING came before the Board at Mrs. Sanford's request. STOVES The Alcott's live across from the Jefferson's of 8 Alcott Road and the Jeffersons have a woodburning stove that Mrs. Sanford objects to. Mrs. Sanford read a prepared statement to the Board in regard to the smoke from this woodburning stove blowing across the street and infiltrating her house. Mrs. Sanford said it is effecting her health and if it continues she will have to put her home up for sale after having lived there for 25 years. She said Mr. Jefferson has had this woodburning stove for four years and uses it completely to heat his house. The Board said they are sympathetic to her sitiation but there is nothing they can really do. Even in the future any regulations would not be retroactive.
