N-rhe Attorney General OF the State of
Kentucky, having advised the County
Judge of Breckenridge County that there
was no law which would authorize this
court to allow any claims for the in
spection of live stock for breeding pur-
poses and the issuing of certificates
thereof, which advice is contained in
the following letter, to wit;
Frankfort, Dec. ID, 1915.
Judge d. d. Dowell,
Hardinsburg, KY,
Dear Judge:
/ can find no authority in the law
which would authorize a county to pay
veterinary to inspect live stock, and
furnish certificates to breeders who sell
for breeding purposes. The State Live
Stock Sanitary Board has the power to
make rules and regulations, and each
County may have live stock inspector
The Salary of the Live Stock Sanitary
Inspector for County, should he fixed
by the Fiscal Court, but / do not think
he should be paid for inspecting stock
for breeding purposes, and issuing certi.
fcates. If the owners desire such an in
spection and If such is necessary, they
saould pay for the services.
Yours truly,
M. M. Logan,
Attorney General.
wherefore be it resolved that this
court will not in the future allow any
