STATE VETERINARIAN.
The bill authorizing the appointment
of State veterinarian was reported
man Of the agricultural committee in the
Senate this afternoon and was sub
favorably by Senator McFarlane, chair
jected TO IA great deal Of discussion.
Senator Knox said he did not believe
5000 an adequate compensation for Il
competent man and one could not be
obtained for that amount.
|. Mr.. Clements thought the amount
sufficient as there was no special work
for the veterinarian unless an epidemic
should break out among the lower
animals and that is very improbable in
Delaware.
Walter H.Hayes talked on the bill ut the
suggestion OF Senator Brasure and ex-
planned its contents. Senators Wright.
