It shall be the duty of the City Council whenever, in its opinion, the danger to the public safety from rabid dogs is great or imminent, to issue a proclamation ordering all persons owning, keeping or harboring any dog to muzzle the same, or to confine it for a period of not less than 30 days or more than 90 days from the date of such proclamation, or until such danger is past. The dogs may be harbored by any good and sufficient means in a house, garage or yard on the premises wherein the said owner may reside. Upon issuing the proclamation, it shall be the duty of all persons owning, keeping or harboring any dog to confine the same as herein provided.
