14 v MEETING, AUG. 23, 1921. All Members Present. The records of the last meeting were read and approved.

The Board considered the matter and decided to amend the regulation under which they charged a fee so that 10% of the sucking pigs would be counted as one swine. It was decided to notify the Slaughter inspectors to divide their reports so that the same may be figured in this manner. Mr. C.
