SECTION 1. On and after the date this Act becomes effective, the affixing of stamps to certificates of registration of cattle and to certificates of transfer, as prescribed in sections ten and twenty-one of Act Numbered Eleven hundred and forty-seven, will be discontinued. Said certificates shall thereafter be in such form as the Executive Secretary shall prescribe and the Insular Auditor shall approve.

All certificates shall be accounted for to the Auditor by provincial treasurers at their face value.

SECTION 2. On and after the date this Act becomes effective, the provisions of section twelve of Act Numbered Eleven hundred and forty-seven for the free registration of large cattle shall be inoperative, and no certificates of registration or of registration shall be issued after said date without the payment of the prescribed charge of one peso for each certificate. All animals not registered under the section referred to prior to the date above mentioned shall be registered in the manner and with the charges prescribed for the registration of other animals, and subject to the same penalties for non-registration.

SECTION 3. All provisions of Act Numbered Eleven hundred and forty-seven in conflict with the provisions of this Act are hereby repealed.
