Can Issue Warrants To Pay For Cattle In Texas
Austin Texas. Assistant Attorney General L C Sutton ruled Friday that deficiency warrants may be issued against the live stock sanitary commission appropriation to reimburse persons whose cattle have been or may be destroyed due to foot and mouth disease. The ruling says anticipated deficiencies can fund emergent needs and the constitutional limit does not apply to debt creation. The governor could issue warrants up to four hundred fifty thousand dollars under this interpretation.
