Dancy's Letter
At the regular June meeting of
the commissioners court held in
the courthouse this morning. the
matter Of tick eradication in Cam
eron county was taken UP and dis
cussed. and while on resolution was
spread upon the minutes. I express
the unanimous sentiment Of every
member Of the court when l state
that the commissioners court of
Cameron county Is in favor Of tick
eradication, but ! wish to make the
following statement:
Years ago, upon the demands Of
the Honorable Live Stock Sanitary
Commission, Of which Hon. j.
Boog-Scott was chairman. and Of
the federal authorities, we put on
tick eradication in this county. and
spent some $1,000 or S75.o00 which
money was largely wasted. trying to
eradicate the cattle tick Of the
county.
In many instances we did good,
as at one time We had the tick Grad
icated or almost completely eradi-
Gated in the farming and irrigated
section. We protested the attempt
70 eradicate the tick in the brush
land. as we believed ii impossible on
account OF deer and other animals
and OH account Of lack of access of
roads at that time. This condition
has been changed and / believe Il
possible TO eradicate the tick,o this
county and I am strictly for such
tick eradication. as / believe in the
possibilities or this county for dairy
ing.
Now. to put on tick eradication
and not keen it up will perhaps be
money wasted.
Therefore. the commissioners
court Of this county. while desiring
70 put on tick eradication and t0 be
listed az one Of the first counties,
desire TO know more fully Just where
we are with regard to its r.ainte-
nance.
Tick eradication in this county
means a great deal more than il
means 10 the range country. III we
put II On and encourage our peo-
pie 70 bring in high class and high
priced dairy stock. and then it Is
dropped. our money. as we'll as the
state money. will be worse than
wasted. For that reason I am sure
you will appreciate our position that
we believe we had better. before
passing an iron-bound resolution.
wait until the second called session
OF the legislature adjourns or until
at least the appropriation bill is
passed and we find where we are In
regard to the situation.
All four members Of the Cameron
county commissioners court were
present as the meeting was called
to order by Judge Oscar c. Dancy
Monday morning and routine mat
tiers were taken up.
No plans were submitted in con-
nection with roads in any part OF
the country.
Atlee p. Ayres, San Antonio ar
chitect. appeared before the court
with regard to acoustics repairs in
the criminal district court room
and other repairs for the roof Of
the building.
County Auditor y. J. Bishop pre-
sented maintenance bills for the
month Of May. and the court au-
thorized their payment.
The court. after passing upon
routine matters, adjourned as a
board of equalization until July 8.
