VIM. Ohnesorgen the inspector at
Benson. not having properly performed
the duties imposed on him by law, was
removed on motion of Mr.. Cannon, to
take effect Oct. 16, 1901. Secretary in
structed to write H. K. Street of Ben
son requesting a petition for man to
take the place. .4
Owing to the difficulty of getting re-,
turns from various inspection points,
the following motion was put by Mr..
Kay: Whenever an inspector shall fail
to make proper reports, after being no
titled by the Office of his neglect shall
fail to respond to such communication,
fer thirty days, he may be removed ,.
from the office of inspector forthwith.
Second by Cannon. Carried. 80
Communications from various in
spectors regarding the new law were.
then taken up with view to formu7
lating rules to cover the points in
volved. Paragraph No. 1896, Title AZ.
r. S. A. 1901, provides for the inspec-
lions of herds driven, or about to be
driven, from their usual range, under
rules and regulations to be prescribed
by the board. Many cattlemen have
| complained that the inspection at point
of starting works a great hardship on
them without any benefit accruing, as
herds are reasonably clean when they
start, but gather strays in transit. 1t
is further represented that herds being
driven from the range to a railroad
shipping station are subject to two in
spections. thereby adding much to the
expense of handling cattle from points
remote from the railroad. The matter
was discussed at length and board de-
ferred action until Oct. II. 1901.
Board adjourned.

was formulated to take effect the 18th
of Oct. 1901:
Upon receipt of a written request
! signed by at least three cattlemen own
! ing cattle in the vicinity through which
a herd is being driven, or has been
/ driven, any duly authorized inspector
shall proceed to inspect any such herd
| that is about to be or being driven off
! its usual range to any other point in
| the territory, unless such herd is being
driven to railroad shipping point for
| immediate shipment, in which case it
shall not be subject to inspection, ex-
! cepting at point of shipment. Pro-
vided, that all herds being driven be-
! yOnd the bounds of the territory must
be inspected at or near the. point of .
exit from the territory, by the nearest
! Inspector 52r ...
4 This rule is made pursuant to the
provisions of Paragraph 1896 ia order
to avoid unnecessary detention of
herds being moved from point to, point
for grazing purposes, and the board
assumes that cattlemen will make a
written request to the. inspector when
in their opinion the inspection of a
herd is necessary. ~ 80
Inspectors will in all cases attach
such written request to the inspection
report to which it belongs, and. forward
same to the office of the board at Phoe-
