entitled to partial reimbursement by the state for payments by the

county of indemnification on account of damages resulting from rabies as

provided in this article, to the extent of fifty per centum of the

claimants during the three months' period ending on such days pursuant

to the provisions of this article shall make a report to the

expenditures for payments to claimants under this article and apply for

state reimbursement to the extent of fifty per centum of its approved

expenditures therefor. Such report and application shall be in such form

The commissioner shall thereupon promptly certify to the comptroller for

payment the amount of state reimbursement due the county thereon. The

amounts so certified by the commissioner of agriculture and markets,

after audit by and on the warrant of the comptroller, shall be paid to

the county treasurers of the respective counties to which such

reimbursement is due, from any moneys available by appropriation

therefor.
