No. 4.] MEETINGS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. 9 



It was voted to approve the mortgage of the Association's 

 property to the amount of $7,500, and the secretary was 

 instructed to notify the Association of this action. 



The committee also considered the resolve of the Legisla- 

 ture of 1891, which instructed the Board of Agriculture to 

 investigate and report to the next Legislature upon the best 

 methods to be adopted to protect the citizens of this Com- 

 monwealth against the dangers to human life and health 

 which may arise from the presence of tuberculosis in the 

 food products of cattle. The matter was discussed, and the 

 secretary was instructed to prepare a report and submit the 

 same to a future meeting of the committee or of the full 

 Board for consideration.
