Section 2
SEC. 2. Section nine of said Act is hereby amended to read as follows: "SEC. 9. Whenever a member of this society loses a work animal by death, the same being insured herein, he shall cause said animal, before the same is buried or otherwise disposed of, to be viewed by two disinterested persons, one of whom shall be designated by the municipal treasurer: Provided, That if the animal should pass the age limit corresponding to the last class, it shall be considered as assessed and paid for according to said class. Said member shall thereupon file a statement, under oath, with the municipal treasurer, on a blank furnished by said treasurer, setting out a description of said animal, the date and cause of death, if known, and such other facts as may be desired by said Insurance Board. In the event of a work animal insured herein becoming unserviceable on account of sickness, accident, or any other cause, said Insurance Board shall, subject to the regulations prescribed by the same, pay eighty per centum (80%) of the value of said animal, less the value of its carcass, if any. For the purposes of this Act, municipal treasurers are authorized to administer oaths."
