ANIMALS-when award will be made for losses sustained through the destruction of certain tubercular cattle. Where there is no contention as to the claim coming within the law an award will be recommended for the State's share for losses sustained through the destruction of certain tubercular cattle under the Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication Act. LLOYD H. BROWN, for claimant. OSCAR E. CARLSTROM, Attorney General; CARL I. DIETZ, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

Mr. CHIEF JUSTICE CLANTY delivered the opinion of the court:

This is a claim for relief under the Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication Acts of 1919 and 1925 for loss sustained through the destruction of certain tubercular cattle owned by the County of Whiteside as a part of a dairy herd of the Whiteside County Home. The total claim is made in the sum of $280.93.

There appears to be no contention as to the claim coming within the law, although the State is liable for only one-third and the Attorney General comes and recommends an allowance of $123.87 to claimant, being one-third of the claim and would be the extent of the liability of the State of Illinois.

Therefore, this court recommends that claimant be allowed $123.87.
