To the Honorable House of Representatives of the Forty-ninth General Assembly. GENTLEMEN: In compliance with your House Resolution No. 45, we herewith hand you an itemized statement of the expense incurred on account of the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease. These facts and the data are compiled from appraisement sheets, and bills now on file in this office, up to and including March 8. There has been 978 quarantines issued on various farms. The reports on some of them being incomplete, but it is our opinion that the estimated figures given you on March 3 will cover all expenses except compensation of animals slaughtered. You will note that this report does not cover disinfection of premises, for the reason that the disinfecting is being done by Federal authorities and they have as yet submitted no figures except by phone and gave the information in this way, that the disinfecting of each farm will average $286. Our report of March 3 shows 705 farms disinfected, making a total of $201,630. We have given you all the figures and data available at this time, and will be very glad to appear before you at any time and give you such other information as is available.
