Ordered, That paragraph (c) of section 3 of the order of the Commissioners 

 of the District of Columbia of November 26, 1909, for the suppression and pre- 

 vention of the spread of bovine tuberculosis within the District of Columbia 

 and to adjoining States, is hereby amended to read as follows : 



"(c) Cattle for immediate slaughter may enter the District of Columbia if 

 tagged in accordance with paragraph (a) and without the tuberculin test, on 

 condition that the tag therein provided for shall remain attached to the hide 

 until removed in the presence of an employee of the Bureau of Animal Industry 

 or of the health department of the District of Columbia, to either of whom it 

 shall be delivered. The owner of the animal at the time of slaughter is hereby 

 required to notify the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry or the health 

 officer of the District of Columbia, stating the place where the hides will be 

 found, except that cattle under six months old, castrated cattle, and cattle 

 shipped in cars consigned direct to an establishment having United States meat 

 inspection, may enter the District of Columbia for immediate slaughter without 

 complying with section 2 and section 3, paragraph (a) : Provided, however, 

 That the consignee at any official establishment shall keep a complete record of 

 each animal received, date of receipt, its place of origin, railroads traversed, 

 name of shipper, and butcher class to which each animal belongs, and shall 

 report the same before the slaughter of any such animals to the Chief of the 

 Bureau of Animal Industry through the veterinary inspector stationed at that 

 establishment."

 tary of Agriculture.
