MINTII BIENNIAL REPORT. 61 Tlie relative economy of the two sources of supply is a proper matter for investigation before making a choice. The economic study should include a careful estimate of the cost of installing the independent water supply and the interest account on the cost, together with tlie cost of plant and the depreciation. Tliis sliould be compared with the same functions that would attach to taking the water from the Wake Water Company. Such a study as tliis being beyond the province of the State Board of Ilealtli to advise upon, 1 have not entered into it for the purpose of this report. Either of the two plans suggested above would secure to the institution a very desirable and satisfactory water supply for all purposes, and except for the consideration of the desirability of such an institution owning and operating its own water supply, and the apparent less liability of contamination that attaches to the south fork of Walnut Creek than to Walnut Creek itself, the choice between the two plans above outlined is purely a question of economies, invohnng the cost of installation and operation. Very respectfully submitted, (Signed) J. L. LruLOW, Engineer Member y. C. State Board of Health. Executive Committee, Central Hospital, Raleigh, C. Gentlemen:—In compliance with your request for an investigation by the Board of Health of the question of tuberculosis in your herd of cattle and advice in regard to the proper action on your part under the circumstances, the President of the Board appointed the undersigned to make the investigation. By appointment with Superintendent McKee I visited the Hospital on the 26th instant. He first submitted to me the reports of the veterinarian who tested the cows and of the Biologist of the Department of Agriculture, who made a biological examination of specimens from tw^o of the cows which had been killed. We then made a general inspection of the infected animals. Although they appeared to be healthj' and in excellent condition, they are undoubtedly tuberculous according to the reports referred to, as they reacted to the tuberculin test, -which is generally regarded as proof positive of the existence of tuberculosis; and the tubercle bacilli were demonstrated in the specimens from one of the two coAvs, so that it is unnecessary to discuss the question of their infection. That may be regarded as settled in the affirmative. The practical question now before us, thtn-efore, is: What shall be done witli the cows and their milk?
