\, of By-Laws be stricken from tlie by-laws, by W. S. Kooker, 
W. L. Zuill and S. J. J. Harger, was brought up, and, after con¬ 
siderable discussion and loss of valuable time, it was laid over 
until annual meeting. The resolution of Drs. Ridge and Zuill 
from last annual meeting was also laid over until the next 
meeting. 
The Dr. Williams certificate matter was called up, and the 
committee being unable to report was continued until next 
morning. 
Dr. W. H. Hoskins was then called upon for a report on the 
work done by the Board of Veterinary Examiners. Discussion 
postponed until after the report of the Committee on Legislation. 
Dr. Hart being called upon for a report of the Committee on

favor offering an amendment at this time, that, inasmuch as the 
act was in reality one of this association’s offsprings, the associa¬

Helmer and Hart did not think it advisable to ask for more 
money from the legislators, as it would jeopardize the whole law. 
Dr. Harger thought that when the Legislative Committee made 
their pledge they were sincere, and he moved that the Legisla¬
