PURPOSE �ND 1�ATI�v�LE r^G�2 Ti�iZS ACTTON: . The City of Saint Paul has a large domestic dog and cat populatioFl, all of which have the potential.. of becoming infected with rabies which coull! be �pread to man.

There were 940 citizens bitten by dogs, cats and other animals in St. Paul during the , past year. The absence of an organized rabies irrnnunization program leads to signi- ficant fear and apprehension among the victims. SQme of these victims are required to have the rabies treatment �eries. �i2TACHMy�FT5: See proposed ordinan� . �;�;,- � l . � �'� � ��� N ��,��� ! � �� .. . � M1 cJ���i���'{ -�� rI .. . . - .9 .; � , } r+ke� ) 4 � � �, �< ��� _ . � � �-.� : � � , . � � � � � ���. , ` ; .r� ':I , , . , - . . , ..� �`; _ �'�`.�v._,a . r� .., . . ,. . � � . , - . � . � . ._ �i t � . ..
