f. o. Beal, Bangor, joni M. Deer
ing, Saco, and F. S. Adams, Bowdoin-
ham, cattle commissioners of Maine,
have submitted their annual report.
The report shows that more cattle
and horses have been destroyed during
the years 1901 and 1902 than in any
two years in the history of the board.
1.-The Legislature of 1901 says the
report, lin it's wisdom, saw that a
larger appropriation was necessary in
order to meet the demands made upon
the commissioners by the cattle own
ers. Consequently the appropriation
was increased from $4,000 to $500 per
pear. The commissioners report for
the year 1900 showed a deficiency of
$3475.55 and $40 on hand. This de-
ficiency was for cattle destroyed and
expenses incurred in the latter part
of 1900. This amount was appropriated
by the Legislature and drawn March
Is, 1901, and paid out.
I'VE also present to you an itemized
account" The commissioners continue,
for all money paid out for business
done and paid for during the years 1901
and 1902, amounting to $15,045.11, and
also an itemized account of all bust
ness reported and not paid for during
the year 1902, amounting to $7390.S3.
The total amount of business done dur
inig the two years cost the State $22,--
1884
There were 116 horses and $40 cattle
destroyed in these two years costing
on an average $11,30 each for destroy
ing, condeming and dsinfecting and
making visits where no cases were
found. The cattle owners received on
an average $3.50 per head. In the
two years 1899 and 1900 there We're
1863 cattle and horses destroyed, show
ing a large increase in the past two
years.
The commissioners have consider
able to say concerning the foot and
mouth disease now prevalent in some
of the New England states, and they
congratulate the people of Maine that
the distemper has not yet made its
appearance here: nor do they think
it WILL inasmuch as the most stringent
quarantine has been established along
the entire border of the State.
