LAW RELATING TO EPIZOOTIC IN GERMANY. 
483 
The cooperation of the veterinarians which are named by the 
State, or whose nomination has been approved by the State, will 
be conformed to the prescriptions of the present law. In case of 
prevention, or for other motives, approved veterinarians may be 
called in their place. These last will have the right and duty to 
fulfil, in the limit of their appointment, the functions allotted by 
the present law to the official veterinarians. 
The particular States shall prescribe the dispositions of detail, 
relating to the measures to be taken, to the competency of the 
authorities and functionaries, as well as to the manner of settling 
the expenses that these measures will incur. 
§ 3. Relatively to horses, and animals of victualling belonging

This authorization may be also granted by the governments 
of the different States to the directories of depots of military re-

breed they may possess; it may also be granted to the directors 
of the crown and State studs, relatively to the horses found there.

places where troops will pass, of the signs which make suspect 
the existence of an epizooty, or of those which characterize the 
eruption, as well as the march followed by the disease and its 
extinction. 
As well, the directors of remounting depots and above named 
horses, are bound to give the same information to the authorities 
of local police, when they are directed to take the necessary 
measures for the discovery and suppression of epizootics. 
§ 4. The Chancellor of the Empire has charge of the execu¬ 
tion of this law, and of the measures taken on its power.

the empire, or in such an extent that it becomes necessary that
