resolution was adopted by the board.
in the absence of which resolution the
cattle men and representatives here
Of the Interstate Stock Yards at Jack

thousand dollars or more:
Whereas. at a meeting of this board
held April 7. 1917, at which there were
present number of leading cattle
men of the state 1T was represented
to this board that the shipping of cat

county, in which county the work OF
systematic tick eradication is now be
ing conducted; and
Whereas it is the opinion of this
board that work will not have pro-
gressed to such an extent by July l,
1919. as to endanger said work by the
shipping of tick infested cattle prior
TO that date; into said county for i'm
mediate slaughter;
Therefore be 1t
Resolved. that this board hereby
suspends the enforcement of said regu-
lation six SO far as concerns Duval
county until July i. 1919. provided
however that tick infested cattle shall
not be shipped into or through the
boundaries OF Orange and Lake coun-
ties of this state which have been re-
leased from federal quarantine; pro-
vided further that the cars contain
ing such cattle shah be placarded
with printed cards in letters, at least
two inches high: Tricky Cattle for
Immediate Slaughter only.
The resolution was passed after an
all day session of the board. and the
cattlemen feel that though the relief

least accomplished a great deal by
having regulation number made in
operative to some degree between now
and July 1.
