decided that in executing the provisions of
the act approprialing 100000 for the bureau
of animal industry the commissioner of
agriculture cannot expend any fraction OF
the appropriations in the purchase of cattle
not known to be diseased, but can only pur-
chase and destroy diseased animals, when in
his Judgment it may be essential to prevent
the spread of leuro-pneumonia from one
state to another. The comptroller also de.
cided that the commissioner cannot pay out
of the appropriation the difference between
the estimated value of cattle and their value
for beef when they were slaughtered for
beef because they were suspected of being
affected with pleurO- pneumonia.
