Each  county  shall  be
  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
  amount of its approved expenditures for such indemnification. Not  later
  than the last day in each of the months of June, September, December and

  claimants during the three months' period ending on such  days  pursuant
  to   the  provisions  of  this  article  shall  make  a  report  to  the
  commissioner  of  agriculture  and  markets  of  the   amount   of   its

  state reimbursement to the extent of fifty per centum  of  its  approved
  expenditures therefor. Such report and application shall be in such form
  and  contain  such  information as may be required by such commissioner.
  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
