THERE was considerable discussion In
the House of Assembly, on Wednesday,
over the bill which appropriates $4,000
for the investigation and determination OF
tuberculosis in cattle. The money is to
be expended by the President of the State
Board of Agriculture under advice OF a
special committee of five to be appointed
for the purpose. Assemblyman Matlack,
of this county, made quite a speech In
favor of the bill. explaining that it was in
the interest of pure milk supply, partic-
ularly in larger cities that there were any
number OF small stables where cows were
fed on swill and grain and where thou
sands of quarts of milk were obtained
daily and sold in Newark, Jersey City,
New YORK, Paterson, Camden and Phil
adelphia. As rule these cows are af-
1icted with the disease and are allowed to
die on their feet and the tainted milk is
freely distributed In large centers. The
$4,000 is to compensate such cattle own
ers whose cattle it may be necessary to
slaughter to prevent the spreading of the
disease.
