PHARMACY LEGISLATION IN NEW YORK. 



Assemblyman Brown, of Cortland County, has introduced in the 

 House at Albany the revised bill reorganizing the New York State 

 Board of Pharmacy, and as it has the approval of Governor Hughes 

 and of the Legislative Committee of the State Pharmaceutical 

 Association its chances of enactment seem to be more than ordi- 

 narily good. The bill is comprehensive, meets the Governor's re- 

 quirements and includes the provisions of the Whitney-Wainwright 

 Act which was passed last year, but then failed of executive ap- 

 proval. 



A separate bill to transfer Westchester County from the Eastern 

 to the Middle Branch also has been introduced, but probablv will 

 never see the light, for, if we remember correctly, the proposition 

 was voted down by the State Ph. A., at the Catskill meeting last 

 year, and as the average legislator looks upon Westchester as 

 being part of the metropolitan district some powerful argument 

 would have to be advanced to persuade him that the public good 

 would be served by divorcing Westchester from the Eastern Branch. 

 About the only arguments that we have heard advanced in favor 

 of the change have been strong reasons for not making it. If there 

 are any others they ought to be made public. — Era,
