has made one of the first moves
toward precenting a recurrence OF
the future. of an epizootic such as
that through which the state has
just pissed. At the urging of the

zatioAs, the county board of supcvs
visors have created a bureau of ami

the health inspection of all cattle
imported into this section of tile

Similar ordinances are expected
to be passed in other counties, where
as in Los Angeles county, prepare
tions are being made to receive
hundreds of head of. young stock to
replace herds destroyed during the
hoof and mouth disease. Prior to
the spread of the disease through

tion for possessing the largest mum
