iicer OF the State Livestock Sanitary
Board, after election. Both officials
are working on plans and co-operat-
ing with each other. Both have had
experience in the inspection work and
the Governor. knowing their qualifica-
tions, has asked each to give his best
efforts.
DIR. Dixon's inspectors have under
taken some inspection work to root
out possible sources of typhoid fever
as health precaution, although the
commissioners department is not
charged with that duty and the men

funds for emergencies. The State
Livestock Board started some inspec-
