No. 8 - AN ACT REQUIRING THE LICENSING OF DEALERS IN BOVINE 

 AND PORCII^ffi ANIMALS. 



In the last few years, owners of porcine animals were re- 

 imbursed from monies taken from the Agricultural Purposes Fund. 

 This money was paid as indemnities to owners of animals which 

 were slaughtered when it was found that they were infected with 

 hog cholera. Because of this, the Department feels that it is 

 necessary to license swine dealers as well as cattle dealers, 

 which is the case now, in order to have control over the sale 

 and movement of these animals in the Commonwealth.

The Deparxnent of Agriculture ov.t.s a building on the grounds 

 of the Brockton Agricultural Society in Brockton, Massachusetts. 

 Except for a few isolated instances, the building is used ex- 

 clusively at Fair time. 



The Department feels that the law should be amended so that 

 the building may be used for educational purposes. The building 

 then may be used on a year round basis, and the general public 

 will benefit.
