HALIFAX AND DISTRICT CHEMISTS AND DRUGGISTS’ ASSOCIATION. 
A Meeting of the members of the above Association was held on Wednesday, the 14th 
inst., at the Mechanics’ Institute. Mr. Dyer, President, who occupied the chair, opened 
the evening’s proceedings by informing the members that at the last Committee Meet¬ 
ing a deputation was appointed to wait upon the Mayor and Town Clerk to represent 
to them the injury done to the trade, by the operation of the Petroleum Act in refer¬ 
ence to the sale of benzine. The representations of the deputation were so far successful 
as to obtain from those gentlemen an understanding that no interference with the sale 
of benzine would be attempted nor any licence be required, so long as that article was 
sold in the quantities and form as stated. Pending further instructions from London, of 
which the trade would be duly informed, the chairman believed that this annoyance 
would soon be righted; referring to the desire expressed at the last General Meeting for 
a uniform rate of charges for prescriptions dispensed, he was glad to be able to say 
that the Committee, after considerable deliberation, had agreed upon a list of charges, 
which he would call upon the Secretary to read to the members. 
The Hon. Secretary, with a few remarks on the necessity of a cordial co-operation 
in such a project, said the experience of each member would convince them of the good 
morally and pecuniarily which should attend its success, hoped it would receive the sup¬ 
port it deserved from all; he then read to the members the whole of the plan, and 
afterwards each section, which was freely discussed and slightly altered to the entire 
satisfaction of all present, and was passed unanimously. 
Mr. Farr then proposed, and Mr. Brook seconded, “ That the meetings of the Asso¬ 
ciation in future be held at the Mechanics’ Institute, and that the Secretary be em¬ 
powered to make the best arrangements he can with the Directors to meet the require¬ 
ments of the Association.” The motion was carried. 
Mr. -Jessop then proposed, and Mr. Beverley seconded, “ That the meeting be held 
monthly, business or no business, paper or no paper.” The Secretary proposed as an 
amendment, “That there be no meetings in the months of June, July, and August, 
except matter of pressing import occurs.” Mr. Brook seconded this, which was carried 
by a small majority. 
A general conversation on trade matters then ensued, and the meeting was closed by 
a vote of thanks to the chair.

member) for his gratuitous assistance in superintending the various manipulations in
