| The heavy foot OF the law came
down hard on ''hogs of quarantine"
today. Following numerouS conn
plants received at the Office Of Tay-'
commissioner, to the effect that vet
erinarians and live stock inspectors
over the state are charging stockmen
unreasonable prices for inspection of
stock and that these inspectors are
continuing to issue health certificates
despite the fact that the state quar-
antine has been raised. uncompromis-
ing letters of warning have been writ

Since tn quarantine. reports that
interruptions inspectors have been
charging enormous prices for the in
spection of stock for shipment have
been received by state officials.
Some of these fellows punch hog

said a state official this morning.
The following is a copy of one OF
the letters sent a veterinarian from
the livestock commissioners office
this morning:
Dear Sir: We wish to call your
attention to the fact that numerous
complaints have been made recently
by parties in person to this office
about serious Overcharges from you
| and other veterinarians for minor in
pections made necessary by the unfor-
| tunate conditions that our stock rails
ers have been placed in. 1 wish to
say that this office will in no way
countenance these unnecessary and
continual overcharges to the afflicted
stockmen.
"Your letter in regard to INSPECTION
| of intra state shipments received. You
surely know that the qua antlne II
raised SO that health certificates are
not necessary for these shipments.
You also are informed Of our rule re-
garding shipments of hogs in cars. but
same does not apply to shipment by
express in crates.
II think that in regard to the fumi-'
cation Of cars leaving the state. that
owners of property shipped and tho
railroad company will probably take
care Of this"
