The responses to these circulars came in very slowly, and 

 it was found necessary to re-issue them in such change of

 form of the circulars issued, and the results obtained, will 

 be found in the report of the secretary of the Board, which 

 is embodied herein.

To Boards of Health of Cities and Towns. 



Gentlemen: — You are hereby informed that the new Board 

 of Cattle Commissioners has now been duly organized, and that 

 its headquarters are at the School of Veterinary Medicine of Har- 

 vard University, 50 Village Street, Boston, to which, place all 

 general correspondence should be addressed. 



The personal services of any member of the Board may be ob- 

 tained by addressing him directly ; and it will be found that this, 

 in many instances, will save a considerable amount of valuable 

 time. 



Under a recent act of the Legislature all cities and towns are 

 directed to appoint inspectors of " animals intended for slaughter 

 or kept for the production of milk." Will you kindly favor this 

 Board with the address or addresses of such inspector or inspectors 

 in your district? Yours respectfully,
