staff, were present at the meeting of
the commissioners. DR.. Bahnsen said
that the tick eradication work had
been so greatly hampered in Lowndes
county so far by the dynamicing of
the dipping watts, that heroic meas
ures must now be employed. He
therefore recommended that hand
soYay pumps be furnished to each
dipping section, where the watts had
been destroyed and that the owner of
each herd of cattle be required TO
spray his own cattle with this, Under
the supervision of the regular in
spector, and that any failure to con-
tinue the eradication work be follow
ed by prosecution as heretofore.
DR.. Bahnsen said that the county
could not afford to replace the watts
and have them blown up again, as too
much money had already been spent
in this manner. He said that where
complaint was made regarding the
physical work of spraying cattle the
people could be told to provide their
own dipping vat and take care IF it,
if they desired, but that the county
would not. AS the county had al.
ready provided these watts and they
were destroyed no more would be
furnished.
