Show BILL TO REGULATE SHEEP SANITATION Salt Lake City, January 21. The tentative outline of a sheep sanitation bill for Utah, giving the state board of sheep commissioners more supervisory power than heretofore, was adopted yesterday for presentation presenta-tion to the legislature by the joint live stock committee of the legislature and the committee elected December 20 for the furthering of the bill at a meeting meet-ing in the office of C. B. Stewart, secretary of the Utah Woolgrow-ers Woolgrow-ers association. The outline in detail was prepared pre-pared by George F. McCabe, solicitor so-licitor for the United States depar'mert of agriculture, at the request of Ihe United States bureau of animal industry, and revised by the committee of the woolgrowers association. The bill is, in part, a result of the big "get togather" meeting between government and state live stock men 'here December 19. It will probably be presented present-ed to the legislature Monday. The measure, in brief, gives the state board ot sheep commissioners com-missioners authority to quarantine quar-antine any part of the .state when the,sheep are found to be infected with.any contageous or infectious disease. The board must give written notice of the establishment of the quarantine to transportation companies, and publish the fact in newspapers. Railroads shall not transport such animals through an unquar-antined unquar-antined pprtion of the state, neither shall infected -bands be driven across "clear" territory. |
