NO MORE FUNDS TO
FIGHT TICKS IN THOMAS

BROWNSVILLE, Oct. 10
Board of commissioners Of Thomas
county at their meeting this week
decided to withdraw all financial
support from the tick eradication

a statement from the federal in
spector was read, showing that ticks
were coming into the county from
territory across the Florida line,
from Brooks county, from the
Grady county line and from the
territory west of Ochlocknee. Tick
carrying is attributed to cattle,
mules, horses and deer, After a
discussion Of the matter the board
unanimously voted to withdraw the
Appropriation. The contention /.
that the dipping has not been strict
ly enforced and that it has been
tried in the county for eight years
without success and with no pros
pect of its being effective in the
future.
