In Point

Now that there is an alarm
about the dreaded horse disease,
it is well that the people be inform
ed as to the law of the case;
An Act to Prevent the Spread of Com
municable Disease Among Domestic
Animals in the State of Kentucky, and
to provide Greater Protection to the
Live Stock Industry of the State.
l. That it shall be the duty of the owner
or person in charge of any domestic animal
or animals, who discovers, suspects, or has
reason to believe that such animal or
animals as aforesaid are affected with any
communicable disease, to Immediately
report the fact, belief or suspicion to the
County Live Stock Inspector of the county
in which the said domestic animal or ami
mails are found.
3. Be it furthur enacted, that the
County Live Stock Inspector of each county
whenever any case or cases of communi-
cable disease of any domestic animal of his
county are reported to exist shall immedi-
ately cause the same to be investigated,
and should such investigation show a.
reasonable probability that such animal or
animals are affected with a communicable
disease, the Isaid County.iLive Stock In
spector shall Immediately establish such
temporary quarantine as may be necessary,
in his judgment, to prevent the. spread of
disease, and shall, without delay, report all
action taken to the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, and the acts of the
County Live Stock Inspector establishing
said temporary quarantine shall have same
force and effect as though established by
the State Live Stock Sanitary Board, until
such time as they shall take charge of the
case or cases, and the County Live Stock
Inspector of every county in the State
shall adopt and enforce such rules and
regulations as said State Live Stock SAM
tary Board may prescribe, having for their
object the prevention and restriction of any
communicable disease among domestic
animals which may be either threatened or
developed in such localities; and all expense
incurred by County Live Stock Inspector
in carrying out this act shall be county
charge, and shall be paid in like manner
as other expenses of the county are.
