76 Third Annual Report of the 



contagious diseases among domestic animals, except the diseases 

 known as tuberculosis and glanders. By section 64 of said chap- 

 ter it was provided as follows: " All persons now employed by the 

 Governor for such purposes shall continue in the employ of the 

 Commissioner upon the same terms until such employment shall 

 be terminated or modified by the Commissioner." 



At the time of the passage of this act, and prior thereto for 

 several years, the Governor had in his employment a Mr. M. Quig- 

 ley, of Waverh', X. Y., to look after and suppress all infectious 

 and contagious diseases in domestic animals coming under the 

 provisions of the statutes then existing. He has been continued 

 in the work and has become quite efficient from his knowledge 

 gained by experience; he has had charge during my incumbency 

 of the work in detail and his report submitted to me gives an 

 account of the work performed during the past year; the following 

 is a copy of it :
