No. 4.] REPORT OF CATTLE BUREAU. 263 



work in exterminating contagious diseases among horses and 

 other animals. 



This estimate is based on the assumption that the ap- 

 propriations made in 1907 for the use of the Cattle Bureau 

 were sufficient to meet nearly all its expenses for the current 

 year; and if the policy of the State toward contagions dis- 

 eases of animals is to continue the same as for the last few 

 years, there is no necessity for asking for more money. Tf 

 any more extensive work is to be undertaken, then of course 

 an additional appropriation would be necessary to meet the 

 expense of any additional work. 



Respectfully submitted, 



AUSTIN PETERS, 



Chief of Cattle Bureau.
