Livestock regulation overhaul to take effect June first
New state law consolidates offices of state veterinarian and state sheep inspector with Dr W H Lytle serving both. County stock inspectors are abolished and a brand inspector may charge per car, while county veterinarians may be appointed up to 400 dollars annually. All cattle shipped into the state must pass tuberculin tests before entry, and veterinarians must report contagious disease promptly. The law also authorizes destruction and quarantine of infected or exposed animals.
