The fee for all dogs other than bona fide rabbiting and sheep or cattle dogs will now" be 10/-. It was 5/-. A farmer or farm worker will now pay the old rate of-2/6 on the first three dogs of his team,'and. 10/- for all others; Rabbiters will now pay 2/6 for each dog,compared with the old rate of 1/-.
