As will be seen from the above quote4 provieions, our 

### present tiok eradloation law expressly providea that all rulee an4 regulations adopted by the Lfve Stook Sanitary Oommiseion are to be for proola%ein

romulgate4 by the Qovernor, with specific provisions, g oertaln territory a8 4eeignate4 by the Live Stook Sanitary Commission open for wtibk eradication” an4 to be “quarantine4,” au4 in thia mapeot, it ia similar and follows closely the provisions of former laws upon the subject. This being 80, it 8eema that your question aa applied to the proposed proolaau+ tiane submitted is annered by Juetice Prendergast, erpeakiugfor the Court of Cr&ainal Appeals ia Mulkey va. State, 201 S. Vi.,991, from whioh we quote:
“It ha6 been correotly he14 under eai4 Tiok Eradication an4 Quarantine law that the court an4 jury ha4 to take ju4loial‘~owle4ge of the QOvernor’a proolamation proolalming muoh quarantine an4 the rule8 an4 regulations adopted by eal4 oomieaion, an4 that it was not neoeesary to prow them. MoloOee Y. State, 194 8. 8. 953. Eovmver, neither this court nor any other court ie bound to take judioial notice of any rulea and regulations **adopted** by the 3af4~oommisaion whioh have net been proalaimed by the Governor. In fact suoh rules.anQ regulatione, even though adopted **by** the ‘.. ocnrmissfon,are~rf~t~:Saroo~an4~effeot~~ear ahdun- ... til the **Governor** preelaim them by his proo1amation.e
It ie evident by the provbeione **of** Article 152S0, Veruon*a Penal Code, an4 partioularly Seation 4 thereof under which the propoeed proolamations appear to have been drawn, that the Legislature intended that before any designated *Free Area’”with its lines Befine4 oould beoome effeatire for purposes **of** wfiok eradication” and mquarantine,W such territory 80 designated is to be proolaimed by the Governor. Only in one instanoe does the law appear to render suoh proclamation uuueoeseary, an4 that appears in the last sentence of Section 3 of the law, whioh reade:
“The reestablishment of quarantine on any portion of 

### a county in the Free Area need not be proolaime4 by the Governor.”
It will be noted that the above section does not provide for reestablishment on any tiortionof a oounty in the -Free Area”
