1887, the State live-stock sanitary board were unwilling to quaran- 
_ tine all herds in Baltimore and require that no cattle should be moved 
. from one premises to another or allowed upon any vacant lot or high- 
- way without a permit. Their reasons for not making such an order eg 
were, first, that they thought the disease could be eradicated without 
these stringent regulations; and, secondly, they doubted their ability 
to enforce it. 
An order was issued, however, which took effect November i0, 
guarantining all bovine animals within 6 miles of the city hall of ; 
Baltimore, and prohibiting any movement.of cattle within this dis- 
trict without a permit. The order is as follows: 
SPECIAL QUARANTINE REGULATIONS. 
Whereas the disease known as contagious pleuro-pneumonia now exists as an epi- 
_ zootic among cattle in the city of Baltimore and portions of the county of Baltimore, 
in the State of Maryland: 
Therefore, in order to prevent the further spread of said contagion, I, Robert Ward, 
chief veterinary inspector of Maryland, and the State live-stock sanitary board, by 
‘virtue of the powers conferred on us by the act of the general assembly of Mary- 
land passed at the January session, 1884, chapter 157, as amended by the act of 1886, 
chapter 80, do hereby place in quarantine all premises and animals within 2 radius 
of 6 miles from the city hall, in Baltimore City, and give notice: 
(1) That all persons are prohibited from moving, within the territory aforesaid, from ~

_species, except upon obtaming a special permit signed by the chief veterinary in- 
spector for Maryiand. All persons are hereby prohibited from driving any animal 
. or animals of the bovine species out of or into the territory aforesaid, except upon ES, 
obtaining a special permit as above provided. No restrictions, however, are placed

more, nor upon steers shipped to either of the stock-yards and intended for imme-
