One person suggested a kennel license fee be required for dwelling units where an unusually large number of dogs are kept. The ordinance will have an effect on Colorado State University campus where police are "waiting for it to come into effect before we clean out a few according to CSU Police Chief M. Wayne Tee. garden, Female dogs have been a problem on campus, although Raymond Kite of 501 North Shields Street said dog packs running in the community have been reduced substantially since the people's ordinance was ed.

No agreement was reached on whether higher annual license fees should be required for female dogs. Proposed fees range from $3 for males and spayed females to $5 for unspayed females. A second family dog would cost $4.50, except for females where a $7 license would be required. ANOTHER area of discussion was a requirement for annual rabies shots instead of shots every three years as recommended by several CSU Veterinary Medicine staff. However, one staff member, Dr.

Douglas H. McKelvie, modified, live vaccines are usufor three years. "But no vaccine is 100 per cent noted McKelvie. "If you've ever seen a rabies case, you'd know what I mean. As far as we know, there's only one case of recovered rabies that we know of, and that's why I'm for one year vaccines." The veterinarian told city officials that many more dog pound facilities will be needed after the ordinance is passed if it is strictly enforced.

Police Chief Ralph M. Smith said a second dog warden wil! be added next week providing a man on duty from 6 a.in. to 7 p.m. daily and on Saturdays, as well as at the dog pound over the noon hour for owners wanting to reclaim their pets. He predicted police will impound nearly 4,000 animals this year.

Valerio Miranda and Joseph Coria voiced a complaint that city police do not respond at night to requests for assistance with barking dogs. Bruce Shay of 938 Akin Street said enforcement is lax even in the daytime. "I was talking to the dog warden one day when a dog crossed my yard and I told him to go ahead and get him and he said nothing could be done," Shay added. CITY MANAGER Robert Brunton agreed some problems may continue with the new law, but added, "Anything we get will be better than what we've got." March suggested that the Council is anxious to have the people's ordinance repealed so councilmen can pass a new law and amend it to plug loopholes as they become evident. Citizens were invited to the Council meeting when the new ordinance will be considered.

Although most of the people at Wednesday's meeting were vocal in their demand for stricter enforcement, city officials say they expect to hear from those opposed to a tough leash law.
