8 Twenty-Second Annual Report of the 



susceptible to the disease. As a result of their earnest work and 

 vigilant care, together with rigid quarantine regulations, we have 

 succeeded, it would seem, in freeing the State of this ravaging 

 disease. The last two cases reported to the Department were at 

 Hornell, Steuben County, August 5, and at Rexville, Steuben 

 County, August 10, since which time no evidence of the disease 

 has been found in any section of the State. 



REDISTEICTING THE STATE 



After the course of a few months it was evident to the present 

 Commissioner that the districts, into which the State is divided 

 as a working basis, could be rearranged so as to make the work 

 in the field more efficient, as well as more thorough. As a result, 

 the State was redivided into six instead of five divisions. Under 

 the old regime, the divisions were as follows: 



District No. 1 : Albany, Schoharie, Rensselaer, Otsego, Delaware, Greene, 

 Columbia, Sullivan, Ulster, Dutchess. Orange, Rockland, Putnam, Montgomery, 

 Schenectady, Fulton, Saratoga, Washington, Warren, Essex. 



District No. 2: New York, Richmond, Kings, Queens, Nassau, Suffolk, 

 Westchester. 



District No. 3: Oneida, Herkimer, Oswego, Lewis, Hamilton, Jefferson, 

 St. Lawrence, Franklin, Clinton. 



District No. 4: Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Schuyler, Steuben, Wyom- 

 ing, Cayuga, Monroe, Ontario, Seneca, Wayne, Yates, Erie, Niagara, Orleans, 

 Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua. 



District No. 5: Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Madison, Onondaga, Tioga, 

 Tompkins. 



The following arrangement is now in effect: 



District No. 1 : Albany, Schoharie, Rensselaer, Otsego, Delaware, Greene, 

 Columbia, Sullivan, Ulster, Dutchess, Orange, Rockland, Putnam, Montgomery, 

 Schenectady, Fulton, Saratoga, Washington, Warren, Essex.
