SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
Dr. M. E. Johnson: Will it be expected of the editor that 
he shall furnish all the material for the space allotted ? 
The Secretary: The person who accepts the management of 
that work will surely desire the assistance of every member of 
this Association. This journal is only published by-monthly, 
and this department will not in any sense enter into competi¬ 
tion with our two excellent veterinary journals, but is of value 
to us as a local means to an end. 
Moved by Dr. Gibson, seconded by Dr. Platt, that Dr. 
Stewart be elected the Association editor of the Veterinary 
Department of the Vis Medicatrix ; carried. 
Dr. Stewart: I thank you for this confidence ; I accept the 
trust with the understanding that I shall receive your assis¬ 
tance. 
Dr. Miller : I suspect that our finances are not such that 
we can afford to pay our Secretary a salary, but I think it is 
no more than just that his expenses be defrayed, for he of all 
others should be present at our meetings. 
Dr. Ovens : I should like to know how much money there 
is in the treasury. 
The Treasurer: About fifty dollars. 
Dr. Thomas: I do not think we can afford to pay the 
Secretary a salary with the present low annual dues, but we 
can afford to defray his expenses. 
Moved by Dr. G. A. Johnson, seconded by Dr. Norton, 
that hei eafter the necessary expenses of the Secretary and his 
dues shall be paid by the Association; carried. 
Moved by Dr. J. E. Brown, seconded by Dr. M. E. John¬ 
son, that the Secretary’s expenses for this session be paid by 
the Association ; carried.
