No. 4.] Rl^POKT OF CVT'lLE BUKEAU. 803 



carrying out the provisions of chapter iK) of the Revised 

 Laws . 



The request for $6,500 instead of |7,000, which was al- 

 lowed last year for expenses authorized under chapter 116, 

 Acts of 1902, is that under a new law estimates this season 

 are for the year ending Nov. 30, 1906. The reason for ask- 

 ing for $75,000 this year instead of $00,000 granted a year 

 ago for the general work carried on under the provisions of 

 chapter 90 of the Revised Laws, is that there is a deficiency 

 at the close of each year, and $60,000 is not enough to meet 

 the expenses incurred. 



Respectfully submitted, 



AUSTIN PETERS, 



Chief of Cattle Bureau.
