It is hoped that the department of
health, in formulating its sanitary
code, will incorporate the requirement
that all dog and cat bites be reported
by the attending physicians to the
health officer. Had a regulation of
this nature been in force this summer,
one of the three deaths referred to
above might have been prevented.
There are in Connecticut approxi
mately 72,000 registered dogs. The
damage paid by the state treasurer on
dog accounts, including amounts paid
' for Pasteur treatments, for the year
ending April 1, 1917, approximated
$11,500.
