MORE CATTLE THAN
 TAX LISTS SHOW
Commissioner Finds Several
 Towns Have Discrepancies

State Capitol Hartford, March ID U-The discovery by the state de- partment of domestic animals of more cattle in several Connection, towns than are listed for taxation in those towns was disclosed today hv Commissioner ot Domestic Animals James NJ. Whittlesey. in an address before the Farmers Association of the general assembly.
 Mir. Whittlesey presented q herd test list as of January l 1927 show- ing the percentage of tuberculn tested cattle in the various towns and was asked by Representative Walter (. Wood. of New Canaan, q trustee Of Connecticut Agricultural college why it was that in Hartford 100 per cent of the cattle were list ed as tested but only 6o per cent Of the owners were listed as having tested herds In Mtriden 100 per cent Of the cattle were listed but only IS per cent of the owners: in New Britain 100 per cent of the cattle and only l5 per cent of tho owners.
 MT. Whittlessy explained that his department first obtained a list of cattle and owners from the tax lists through the town clerks of the Sari- ous towns but later discovered as many cattle as were on the tax lists before the entire list Of owners was canyassed.
 These figures were obtained from the assessors records by the town clerks" said Commissioner Whttlesey, and l hope they are not criticizing nc for finding mora cattle than they did"
 Commissioner Whittlesey visor- ouSly defended the tuherculin test saying that the public is willing to pay for pure milk and in the larger centers of population is not only willing to pay for it but is demanl- ing it.
 Tt is not the city kid who is in danger today" he declared, but the country kid who. is drinking milk from tuoe-culin cattle.
 'lt is q matter of pride that through federal and state aid the state of Connecticut is being clean- ed up. Hartford, West Hartford. NcrIden, New Britain. NHddletown. New London and Bristol. and some of the surrounding tHrrtory. are now loo per cent frco from tGhercu- lar cattle"
