on sale specially arranged account-books which are re-

As in accordance with Paragraph 3 of the Law of 

 22nd March 1907, it is the duty of the Association for 

 the Authorised Extermination of Rats to submit to the 

 Ministry of the Interior a Report on the money expended 

 in the whole of the kingdom on such premiums, the local 

 authorities are hereby desired to make a quarterly Return 

 to the aforementioned Association on the number of 

 rats killed within the district of each authority in each 

 month of the quarter covered by such Return, and on the 

 money paid out for premiums. Forms for such Returns 

 will be supplied by the Association. 



Any associations which in accordance with terms of 

 Paragraph 1 of the Law of 22nd March 1907 desire to 

 participate in the grant made by the State for the purpose 

 of purchasing preparations for the extermination of rats 

 (Ratin, &c.) must send a request to that effect to the 

 Minister of the Interior, together with a statement showing 

 the approximate cost of the proposed campaign, and the 

 amount at the disposal of the association for that purpose. 

 As this Law is essentially of an experimental character, 

 the requests of all such associations will be treated as 

 preferential which show that the proposed extermination 

 may be easily and successfully effected (as for instance on 

 small islands). 



A number of copies of this circular will be forwarded 

 to each local authority.
