Failure to Provide Fund Hampers Tick Eradication Plan
AUSTIN May 15 Failure of the thirty ninth legislature to appropriate sufficient funds for cattle fever tick eradication work looms as a reason for an early dial session. Leo Callan says $1,590,000 for the period through September 1 was insufficient and no post term appropriation was made. After expenses only about $80,000 yearly remains. $500,000 to $600,000 annually is needed to enforce the tick law.
