'~_, :1 TUESDAY Sec. 3-9. (e) (f) (g) JANUARY 12. 1982 If a dog license shall become lost, destroyed, or stolen, the owner or custodian of the dog shall at once apply to the treasurer for a duplicate license tag, presenting the original receipt. Upon affidavit of the owner or cus- todian before the treasurer that the original license tag has been lost, destroyed, or stolen, the treasurer shall issue a duplicate license tag which the owner or custodian shall immediately affix to the collar of the dog. The treasurer shall endorse the number of the duplicate and the date issued on the face of the original license receipt. The fee for a duplicate tag for any dog shall be one dollar. Any dog not wearing a collar bearing a license tag of the proper calendar year shall prima facie be deemed to be unlicensed and in any proceeding brought against the dog's owner or custodian the burden of going forward with proof of the fact that such dog has been licensed, or is otherwise not required to bear a tag at the time, shall be on the owner or custodian of the dog. It shall constitute a Class 4 misdemeanor for any person to make a false statement in order to secure a dog license to which he is not entitled, for any dog owner or custodian to fail to pay the license tax required by this section before February first for the year in which it is due, or for any person to violate any other provixion of this section. (h) Payment of the license tax subsequent to a charge to appear before a court for failure to do so within the time required shall not operate to relieve the owner or custodian of the penalties provided.
