§ 58-13-06 — Disposition of proceeds of sale

Out of the money realized from the sale of any impounded animals, the poundmaster shall
deduct all of the poundmaster's legal fees and charges and shall deliver the balance, if any, to
the chairman of the board of township supervisors, with an accurate description of the animals
sold and the amount received by the poundmaster for each animal. The board of township
supervisors shall give the poundmaster a receipt in duplicate for the money paid to it and the
poundmaster shall file one of the receipts with the township clerk. The board, at any time within
six months after the sale of the animals and upon sufficient proof from the owner of any animal
sold, shall pay to the owner the amount received from the poundmaster. If the money is not
claimed within six months after the sale, the sum received must be retained for the use of the
township.
