"In the name of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
you are hereby required to proceed forthwith to seek out, catch and

or harnessed and tagged, according to the provisions of Chapter 140
of the General Laws, and you are further required to make and enter
complaint against the owner or keeper of every such dog and to kill
or cause to be killed each such dog which, after being detained for
a period of seven days, shall not then have been duly licensed, collared
or harnessed and tagged, unless delivery of such dog to an institution
licensed under Chapter 49A of the General Laws shall be required under
the provisions of § 3 of said Chapter 49A; except that any
male or any spayed female dog not found to be diseased may be sold
for not less than $3, and you shall keep an account of any such sale
and forthwith pay over the money to the Town Treasurer. Before delivery
of any dog so sold, you shall require the purchaser to register and
procure a license and tag for such dog from the Town Clerk of the

of MGL C. 140, § 137.
