Dr. Maclay moved that inasmuch as there had been but one 
nominee for each office that the Secretary be directed to cast the 
ballot for said officers, with the exception of Secretary, who 
should be elected by acclammation. As there were no objec¬ 
tions it was so ordered. The ballot having been cast the Presi¬ 
dent pi o tciii. announced the officers for the ensuing year as 
above stated and they were thereby declared elected. & 
New business was next taken up, and the subject matter of 
inspection of dairy cows was introduced, and it was brought to 
light that one J. C. .C. Price was representing himself to be a 
qualified practitioner, and by so doing was holding a public po¬ 
sition in San Euis Obispo County, that he was also obtaining 
tuberculin from the Bureau of Animal Industry and charging 
the persons for whom he was making the tests. Whereupon^ 
Dr. H. A. Spencer introduced the following resolution : 
. Whereas, It having come to the knowledge of this association that one Jos. C. C. 
Price is representing himself as a qualified veterinary surgeon, and through such represen¬ 
tations he has either secured, or pretends to have secured the appointment of stock inspec¬ 
tor of San Puis Obispo County, and has represented that he is an appointee of the gen¬ 
eral government, and is securing pay from the owners for the use of government tuber¬ 
culin, 
Resolved ’, That by the report of the State Veterinary Medical Board of Examiners, 
this association is advised that said Jos. C. C. Price is not a qualified veterinary surgeon 
and therefore we conceive it our duty to inform the Board of Supervisors of San Luis 
Obispo County and the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry of these facts, and that 
the. Secretary of this association be instructed to write to the said Chief of the Bureau of 
Animal Industry, and the President of the Board of Supervisors of San Luis Obispo 
County apprising them of these facts. 
The resolution was unanimously adopted and it was so or¬ 
dered. 
The subject matter of qualifications for membership was 
next taken up. Considerable discussion followed, and it was 
finally decided that Sec. i of Article VII of the by-laws was de¬ 
ficient in the respect that it did not compel all members of the 
association to abide by the laws of this State in regard to hold¬ 
ing a certificate issued by the State Veterinary Medical Board 
of Examiners. 
Dr. Thomas Maclay was appointed as a committee of one to 
make the proper amendments and to report at the evening meet¬ 
ing. 
Upon motion the meeting adjourned until 7 p. m.
