ing the surgeon to order the killing of all
animals that have been exposed land moved
to strike out that provision. Carried.
Mr.. RICHARDSON moved to make the
salary S 1000 instead of $4,000.
MIR. THOMPSON of Cass. thought 81, 200
was not sufficient, as the veterinarian
would be called away from his business
most of the time and the compensation
was too small for a man who could fill the
requirements of the bill.
MI. BEARD did not think this official
would be called away One-fourth of his
time, and that this was good pay. :
MI. ESTABROOK thought it was non
sense to pas such a law at this time. Did
not think a veterinary surgeon would be
called on more than once a year. He moved
that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
MI. NORTON desired to inform Mr.. Es-
taDrook that CHAMBERS prevail throughout
the state and that the surgeon would be
kept busy all of his time. He would favor
paying him $4,000 year.

that reports show that in hi, (EstabroOk's)
county CHAMBERS now exist and that in
Ransom county even fifty cases now exist.

this way. If the amendment prevailed

provides a necessity, 1t is not like the
fair bill, appropriating $4,000.
Mr.. WalSh'S amendment was lost.
The bill was placed on its final passage.
Mr.. WILLIAMS opposed the bill on the
ground that under its provisions the travel

Grand Forks, would spring out of bed at
any hour of the night on a telegram to go

travelling expenses amounted to 81 1000 per
year. 1t is an outrage to pass this bill at
this time.
The bill was defeated and on motion was
reconsidered.

bill by limiting the travelling expenses of
the veterinary surgeon to $500 per year.
